The Scriptures provide various insights into the life and status of single individuals, offering both practical guidance and spiritual perspectives. Biblical Examples of Singleness Several prominent biblical figures were single, either for a period of their lives or throughout their entire lives. The Apostle Paul is perhaps the most notable example. In <a href="/bsb/1_corinthians/7.htm">1 Corinthians 7</a>, Paul discusses the advantages of singleness, emphasizing the ability to focus on serving the Lord without the distractions that can accompany marriage. He states, "I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that" (<a href="/1_corinthians/7-7.htm">1 Corinthians 7:7</a>). Jesus Christ Himself also lived a single life. His singleness allowed Him to fully dedicate His life to His ministry and the fulfillment of His divine mission. Jesus' life exemplifies the potential for a single person to live a life of profound purpose and impact. Singleness as a Gift The Bible presents singleness as a gift from God, not a deficiency or a state to be pitied. In <a href="/1_corinthians/7-32.htm">1 Corinthians 7:32-34</a>, Paul explains that an unmarried person can be more concerned with the Lord's affairs and how to please Him, while a married person is concerned with the affairs of this world and how to please their spouse. This perspective highlights the unique opportunities for devotion and service that singleness can offer. Singleness and Contentment The Scriptures encourage contentment in whatever state one finds oneself, whether single or married. <a href="/philippians/4-11.htm">Philippians 4:11-13</a> speaks to the broader principle of contentment in all circumstances, with Paul declaring, "I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances" (<a href="/philippians/4-11.htm">Philippians 4:11</a>). This principle applies to singleness, encouraging individuals to find joy and purpose in their current state. Singleness and Community While the Bible acknowledges the challenges that can accompany singleness, it also emphasizes the importance of community and fellowship. The early church is depicted as a close-knit community where believers supported one another, regardless of marital status. <a href="/hebrews/10-24.htm">Hebrews 10:24-25</a> encourages believers to "consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds" and to "not neglect meeting together" . This underscores the importance of community for single individuals, providing support, encouragement, and opportunities for service. Singleness and Sexual Purity The Bible calls all believers, whether single or married, to live lives of sexual purity. For singles, this means abstaining from sexual relations outside the covenant of marriage. <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-3.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:3-5</a> instructs believers to "abstain from sexual immorality" and to "control your own body in holiness and honor" . This call to purity is part of a broader biblical ethic that values the sanctity of the body and the importance of honoring God with one's life. Singleness and Future Hope For those who desire marriage, the Bible encourages trust in God's timing and provision. <a href="/proverbs/3-5.htm">Proverbs 3:5-6</a> advises believers to "trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" . This trust extends to all areas of life, including the hope for future relationships. The Bible assures believers that God is sovereign and that His plans are for their ultimate good (<a href="/jeremiah/29-11.htm">Jeremiah 29:11</a>). In summary, the Bible presents singleness as a valid and valuable state of life, offering unique opportunities for service, devotion, and community. It encourages singles to live with contentment, purity, and hope, trusting in God's perfect plan for their lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness." "Single" and "evil" here represent haplouis, and poneros. Poneros elsewhere in the New Testament means "wicked"; haplous occurs only here in the New Testament, but is very common in ordinary Greek and always has the meaning "simple." But in view of the context, most commentators take haplous here as meaning "normal," "healthy," and poneros as "diseased," so rendering "Just as physical enlightenment depends on the condition of the eye, so does spiritual enlightenment depend on the condition of the heart." This is natural enough, but it is not satisfactory, as it gives to haplous a unique sense and to poneros a sense unique in the 73 New Testament examples of the word. Moreover, the same expression, "evil eye," is found also in <a href="/matthew/20-15.htm">Matthew 20:15</a> <a href="/mark/7-22.htm">Mark 7:22</a>, where it means "jealousy" or "covetousness." With poneros = "covetous" haplous would = "generous"; and this rendition gives excellent sense in Matthew, where the further context deals with love of money. Yet in Luke it is meaningless, where the context is of a different sort, a fact perhaps indicating that Luke has placed the saying in a bad context. Or the Greek translation of Christ's words used by Matthew and Luke may have taken the moral terms haplous and poneros to translate physical terms ("healthy" and "diseased"?) employed in the original Aramaic. The Sinaitic Syriac version of <a href="/luke/11-36.htm">Luke 11:36</a> may perhaps contain a trace of an older rendering. See Julicher, Die Gleichnisreden Jesu, II, 98-108.
