What Does the Bible Say About Singleness?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on singleness
A Biblia több helyen is foglalkozik a szingli élettel. A Szentírás hangsúlyozza, hogy a szingli élet egy értékes időszak lehet az egyéni növekedésre és Isten szolgálatára. Például, Pál apostol a 1 Korinthus 7:8-ban azt tanácsolja, hogy az egyedülállók maradjanak szinglik, mivel így könnyebben tudnak az Úr szolgálatára koncentrálni.

1 Corinthians 7:8
“Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.”
1 Corinthians 7:32-35
“I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord.

I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.”
Matthew 19:12
