ANCHOR PASSAGE
“An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit.”— 1 Corinthians 7:32–35
What this verse means
Paul is not ranking women by relationship status. He is showing that singleness carries real spiritual opportunity: a life with fewer divided obligations and unusual freedom to attend to God’s work.

Questions for honest reflection
1Am I postponing joy or obedience until my relationship status changes?
