The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
CO1 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou
loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
CO1 7:28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin
marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the
flesh: but I spare you.
CO1 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth,
that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
CO1 7:30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that
rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they
possessed not;
