Marriage Counselling (1 Corinthians 7:25–38) - 1 Corinthians Exposition

To marry, or not to marry? That is the question Paul addresses in 1 Corinthians 7:25–38. Even more importantly, he addresses devotion to the Lord. His concern about undivided devotion to Jesus Christ is directly related to the question of marriage and singleness. We need to hear the apostolic marriage counselling that he provides. We consider this text under four broad headings: 1. Listen to Pastoral Concerns (v. 25) 2. Consider Your Present Circumstances (vv. 26–31) 3. Remember Your Primary Calling (vv. 32–35) 4. Seek Your Parent’s Consent (vv. 36–38)
