(1Co 7:26) “I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. (27) Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.” In the midst of persecution, it is better than one does not have to worry about the welfare of another. It eliminates the temptation to hedge on our testimony. We can more easily stand firm for Jesus.
