Jeremiah 16:2-4
“ Jeremiah, you must not get married. You must not have any sons or daughters in this land.”Here is the Lord’ s message about the children born in this place. He says about them and their parents,“ Some of them will die of deadly sicknesses. No one will mourn for them. Their bodies will not be buried. Instead, they will be like human waste lying there on the ground. Others will die because of war and hunger. Their bodies will not be buried. Instead, they will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”

1 Corinthians 7 35-1 Corinthians 7 38
I’m saying those things for your own good. I’m not trying to hold you back. I want you to be free to live in a way that is right. I want you to give yourselves completely to the Lord.Suppose someone is worried that he is not acting with honor toward the virgin he has promised to marry. Suppose his desires are too strong, and he feels that he should marry her. He should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married.But suppose the man has decided not to marry the virgin. And suppose he has no compelling need to get married and can control himself. If he has made up his mind not to get married, he also does the right thing.So then, the man who marries the virgin does the right thing. But the man who doesn’t marry her does a better thing.
