Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary 1 Corinthians 7:27

"Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife." — 1 Corinthians 7:27 (ASV)

Each person should remain as he or she now is “because of the present crisis” (see comments on vv.1, 29–31). In other words, remain married if you are married; single if you are single.
