(1Co 7:34) “There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.” It is not that the Lord is saying the married person does not care about the things of God, but that there is a conflict of devotion – natural. The context is which position is best in the midst of persecution.
