(1Co 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.” Marriage is always a right and good thing in the presence of God. A time will come again, and may even be so now in some countries, where it is better to remain single. The desire to protect wife and children is natural and right. To know in standing for the Lord they might suffer is a very real conflict of heart. That is the point of this portion of Scripture. It is self denial for the sake of others.
