1 Corinthians 7:7, where the apostle Paul said, “I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.” In context, he’s talking about singleness and marriage, and since Paul himself was single (he says so in the very next verse), he’s saying that he wishes everyone was single like him. But, as he puts it, some people have the gift of singleness and some have other gifts instead.
