info_outlineIn 1 Corinthians 7, Paul offers guidance and instruction on marriage and singleness. Writing to a church confused by cultural pressures, Paul affirms both marriage and singleness as good gifts from God, each with their own purpose. He encourages married believers to remain faithful to one another, honoring the covenant of marriage through mutual love, service, and commitment. Sam also points out how single, widowed and married people have unique opportunities to serve and support one another as the church family.
