2 Corinthians 8 8-2 Corinthians 8 10
I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ: Though He was rich, for your sake He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich.Now I am giving an opinion on this because it is profitable for you, who a year ago began not only to do something but also to desire it.

2 Corinthians 4 1-2 Corinthians 4 2

1 Timothy 1 12-1 Timothy 1 16
I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, appointing me to the ministry—one who was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I received mercy because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief.And the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance:“ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”— and I am the worst of them.But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate His extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

But if any man thinks he is acting improperly toward his virgin, if she is past marriageable age, and so it must be, he can do what he wants. He is not sinning; they can get married.But he who stands firm in his heart( who is under no compulsion, but has control over his own will) and has decided in his heart to keep his own virgin, will do well.So then he who marries his virgin does well, but he who does not marry will do better.

1 Corinthians 7 34
and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world— how she may please her husband.
