It can denote those who have never been married, as well as those who are widowed or divorced. The context in which it is used often provides clarity on the specific state of being unmarried.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, marriage was a common social institution, and being unmarried could carry various social implications. For women, marriage was often seen as a means of securing social and economic stability. For men, it was a way to ensure lineage and inheritance. The early Christian community, however, began to view singleness as a viable and even commendable state, especially in light of the imminent return of Christ and the call to undivided devotion to the Lord.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/1062.htm">gamos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>unmarried<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>unmarried (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 22: ἄγαμος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄγαμος</span></span>, (<span class="greek2">γάμος</span>), <span class="accented">unmarried</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/7-8.htm">1 Corinthians 7:8, 32</a>;
