25. Now regarding your question about the young women who are not yet married. I do not have a command from the Lord for them. But the Lord in his mercy has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will share it with you.
26. Because of the present crisis, I think it is best to remain as you are.
27. If you have a wife, do not seek to end the marriage. If you do not have a wife, do not seek to get married.
28. But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, those who get married at this time will have troubles, and I am trying to spare you those problems.
