1 Corinthians 7:7
_ _ even as I — having tile gift of continence (Matthew 19:11, Matthew 19:12). This wish does not hold good absolutely, else the extension of mankind and of the Church would cease; but relatively to “the present distress” (1 Corinthians 7:26). |

For I would that all men were herein even as I — I would that all believers who are now unmarried would remain "eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake" St. Paul, having tasted the sweetness of this liberty, wished others to enjoy it, as well as himself. But every one hath his proper gift from God — According to our Lord's declaration, "All men cannot receive this saying, save they," the happy few, to whom it is given," Matthew 19:11. |

1 Corinthians 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.
) the present distress; for it would be perfectly absurd to imagine that an inspired apostle would in the general, discountenance marriage, since it was of the greatest importance to the existence and happiness of future generations, and expressly agreeable to a Divine institution.
1 Corinthians 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
1 Corinthians 9:15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

Matthew 19:11-12 But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is given. ... For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
