<p>7:32 <em>But I would have you to be free of worries- </em>Using the same word as in the parable of the sower, which warns that &quot;cares of this world&quot; choke spiritual growth (Mt. 13:22); and we note Paul has just spoken of marriage as being one of the things of &quot;this world&quot;. The same word is used several times by the Lord in urging us to live a life free of care- and Paul saw the danger of domestic life becoming an obsession which led us to disobey that keynote teaching of Christianity.</p><p><em>He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord- </em>This is not true for all unmarried people, indeed most young single people are 'careful' for the things related to finding a partner. So I suggest that as with &quot;virgins&quot;, Paul is using a technical term, in this case for those who have vowed to remain single for the Lord's service and who therefore don't concern themselves with domestic and romantic matters. And this seems to be what Paul wishes for them. But they are not achieve it through using church prostitutes to relieve their human desires.</p>
