1 Corinthians 7:7 - Additional Comments

Was the Paul married at one time? It is possible, but the Bible never says. If Paul was married at one time, his wife likely passed away considering he never mentions her in any of his writings. Paul was clearly not married at the time he wrote this book. But whether he married afterward is also a matter of speculation. Some believe that Paul was married because history tells us that a member of the Sanhedrin was required to be married. However, Paul never stated that he was a member of the Sanhedrin. He definitely seemed to be on the path, "I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers" (Galatians 1:14). However, Paul might not have advanced that far before He converted to Christ.
