The world always seeks after that which will excuse their own rebellion. Even a lie! Even changing the truth of Gods word in order to force it conform with the basest nature of man. ( who lives according to the gratification of his or her own flesh ) His lust for sex without marriage...
Paul said it would be better for you to marry than to burn with lust. Paul didn't burn with lust and therein chose not to marry.
But what? Was the Apostle Paul above Christ? No. He was not. Indeed he depended upon the holines of Christ to clothe his own nakedness - yes - even his own wretchedness with- for he said, Oh Wretched man am I! I do what I don't want to do and what I want to do I don't do!! Who can save me from this body of sin and death? Thanks be to God it has been done through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Yes it is not by might, not by power but by my Spirit sayeth the LORD! Only by the Holy Spirit can one crucify the carnal nature that seeks the things after the flesh. Jesus never sought after the things of the flesh. He was and he is - HOLY. Holy is our God! Oh! The scriptures warn us, Without holiness no one will see the Lord. The Lord gave his own body on the cross, his own blood on that cross that we would be made whole even as Paul was later made whole. Paul desired that others would follow his example but he said, if they could not - indeed they should marry rather than to burn with lust.
Yes if one could not resist the temptation of the flesh - if one burns with lust - then by all means marry. But if you can live as Jesus Christ lived? Them by all means do this and remain unmarried as Jesus Christ was ( he came for a Holy Bride - the church - not a woman! ) - because Paul told us for the one who is married there are other matters that must be looked after, other concerns that have nothing to do with the preaching of the gospel, things such as to provide a house for your wife, to give her that which she needs and it does give opportunity for much distraction.
Had Jesus married he would not have said, He must be about His fathers business.. yet he was.. you see, beloved? How the Word of God, the truth given by the Holy Spirit will expose the lies satan tries to deceive you with? Oh how I praise the Father and the Son for sending me this Comforter. This one who teaches me and gives me a right answer to every question because without Him how can we know the truth? Jesus said, even the very elect would be deceived in the end days if it were possible.. you know...
As the Apostle Paul who said he desired to "be like Christ"? Who said, no longer do I live but Christ liveth in me? If you can be like that one then by all means - do it - follow Pauls example and do not marry. But if not? If you fear you will fall into fornication - having sex without marriage then do not hesitate to marry. It is better to marry then to burn in hell for your lusts, people. Amen.
