The Corinthians had a lot of questions for Paul regarding singleness.

Paul has clear opinions separate from the Lord: v 12, v25. That doesn’t mean that it’s not the Word of God, because Paul was led by the Holy Spirit to write this. One interpretation is that there is difference from Jesus’s literal teachings. Another interpretation is that Paul was given a Divine allowance to say these things. Paul’s preferences, according to scripture is for single people to remain single. He is intending that believers in Christ to be his audience.
