But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
But honestly, I think she'll be way happier if she stays single, that's just my take. And I'm pretty sure God's Spirit is guiding me on this one.
Sometimes staying single isn't settling, it's actually choosing what makes you happiest.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the Corinthian church was grappling with questions about marriage, divorce, and singleness amid a morally permissive Greek culture, and Paul wrote this letter to provide guidance based on Christian principles. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul addresses various marital situations, including advice for widows, emphasizing contentment in one's current state as a way to avoid worldly troubles. He concludes in verse 40 by sharing his personal judgment, which he attributes to the Spirit of God, as a wise but not absolute directive.
