1 Corinthians 7:26 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

24 Irmãos, cada um continue com Deus [no estado] em que foi chamado.

25 E quanto às virgens, não tenho mandamento do Senhor; porém eu dou [minha] opinião, dado que tenho recebido misericórdia do Senhor para que eu seja confiável.

26 Considero pois isto como bom, por causa da necessidade atual, que é bom à pessoa continuar assim como está.

27 Estás ligado à mulher, não busques se separar. Estás livre de mulher, não busques mulher.

28 Mas se também te casares, não pecas; e se a virgem se casar, não peca. Porém os tais terão aflições na carne, que eu [gostaria] de livrá-los.
