What Does the Bible Say About Singleness?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on singleness
Библия говорит о холостяцком состоянии в разных местах, подчеркивая, что это также может быть благословением. Состояние холостяка позволяет сосредоточиться на служении Господу без разделения внимания на заботы о семье. Апостол Павел даже утверждает, что в некоторых случаях лучше оставаться холостым для лучшего служения Богу. Однако, Библия также признает, что создание семьи и брак являются благословением от Господа.
