God assures him he does not sin if he marries “in the Lord”, but he tells him what his portion will be if he stays single and what if he marries. He is free to stay single and enjoy the larger sphere of service and the special privileges for which singleness adapts him. He is free to marry, without thus sinning, to enjoy the privileges of wedlock. But he must part thereby with some control over his own body and must expect “tribulation in the flesh”. There is no sin in exercising his wish in this case. What does he wish? God's will only is that, if he does marry, he must love his wife, keep the marriage bed undefiled by committing no adultery, and bring up his children in the discipline and authoritative advice of Jehovah and prove his integrity, paying his vows to God. W 6/15
