Jeanie,

You and I must be speaking of "two separate things" in regards to this SUBJECT.

I started out by mentioning that "Paul WAS MARRIED AT ONE TIME". THAT to me was very revelatory.....and him following it up by speaking to the Corinthians as how to live as a married man/avoiding fornication,etc, etc.

I see here in verse 7) "For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that."

YES, Jeanie, at THIS point in time Paul was SINGLE and was in the ministry of missionary service for the Gospel of Christ.

Thank you for bringing 'this' to my attention, that I was NOT CLEAR AS TO MY INTENTIONS.

It's is now 11:35 PM, and I can not rest without letting you know that I have reviewed, re-read, and also have read indepth Matthew Henry's Commentary and THAT is WHAT made it clear to me what you PROBABLY are referring to(?)

Thank you, Jeanie. Have a good night. Sincerely, Abishag
