Being Single & Waiting on Who God has for You 1 Cor. 7:32-37 speaks on the fact that unmarried people are free to be concerned only with the things of God, while a married person has divided interests and cannot be totally focused on God. 2 Cor 6:14-17 do not be yoked together with unbelievers.

As God has said “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” “Therefore come out from them and be separate.”
