[Ff--150]

1st Cor. 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Which is, of course, praying in tongues.

With Christian television going around the world via satellites, those never exposed to the false doctrines that praying in tongues is somehow wrong--ARE PRAYING IN TONGUES, LOL, thereby discovering it does work towards our glory, as Paul proclaimed in that verse :>).

[jer33 3]

First, there was a question about marriage; they asked Paul if it was right to be married, in view of the pressures that were around them, if perhaps they should give themselves to the service of God in an ascetic life. Although Paul himself was not married, nevertheless he told them in this section that it is best, it is good for men and women to be married, that marriage is a perfectly proper way of life, and because of the temptation to immorality, he says, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband; that was in view of the Corinthian conditions.

Then he shows them that it is also right to have a single life, if God grants this as a special calling to any individual -- this is a perfectly honorable way of life. Marriage is not a necessity, though it often is an advantage, and yet it can be a problem. Paul deals very thoughtfully, helpfully, and carefully with this whole question of marriage.

I have on occassion heard some folks say that Paul advocated singleness over marriage. IMO he was balanced.
