TSK · 1 Corinthians 7:40

But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven't I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren't you my work in the Lord?

For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,

Therefore he who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
