Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.

EXPLANATION

Verse 25–28. Now concerning virgins, and so forth He turns his discourse again to the unmarried, who (if they have made no vow) may lawfully marry, though he is far from commanding every one to marry, as when he says, seek not a wife. And such shall have tribulation of the flesh, cares, troubles, vexations in the state of marriage, but I spare you, I leave you to your liberty of marrying, or not marrying, and will not discourage you be setting forth the crosses of a married life. Witham.
