Joe: Alright, so let's talk about 1 Corinthians 7. What's the gist of this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, 1 Corinthians 7 is primarily about marriage and celibacy. It advises Christians to remain in the state they were in when they were called by God.

Joe: So if I was married when I became a Christian, I should stay married?

Bible Expert: That's right. Paul writes that it's better for married couples to stay together than to separate. He also encourages those who are single and not married to stay single and concentrate on serving God.

Joe: That sounds like a tall order. So what about divorced people?

Bible Expert: Paul says that they should remain unmarried or be reconciled with their former partner if possible. He also says that if one partner becomes a Christian and the other is not, the Christian partner should not leave the marriage.

Joe: Interesting. What else does the chapter say?

Bible Expert: Paul also mentions that being single can be a great advantage in serving God. He says that those who are single can focus fully on God without any distractions or worries. He also advises Christians to remain in whichever social class they were in before they became believers.

Joe: That's really interesting. I've never heard that before. Jamie, can you look that up and see if it's true?

Jamie: Sure thing, Joe. (A few moments pass as Jamie searches online). Alright, Joe, it looks like it's true. Paul does indeed advise Christians to remain in their social class.

Joe: Wow, that's really interesting. Thanks, Jamie. So, Bible Expert, what else does 1 Corinthians 7 say?
