Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul encourages singleness as a practical response to the eschatological crisis, believing that the end of the age was coming soon and that it would not be helpful for people to get married at that time. He also acknowledges that marriage is not unseemly for adult Christians but notes that singleness has its advantages, including the ability to serve the Lord more fully without distractions. Paul does not suggest that singleness is a prerequisite for a higher spiritual state or a necessary condition for entering the priesthood.
