“Was the Apostle Paul married?”……Answer: The Bible never says whether Paul was married or not. Some think that he was at one time based on what he said in 1 Corinthians 9:5, “Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?”

If Paul was married at one time, his wife likely passed away considering he never mentions her in any of his writings. Paul declared that he had the gift of celibacy in 1 Corinthians 7:1-7.Now regarding the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to abstain from sexual relations.* 2 But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his wife's sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband's needs. 4 The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7 But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.

Paul's statement to the unmarried and widows in the Corinthian church gives evidence that he was not married at the time of his writing the letter:

(1 Corinthians 7:8-9).8 So I say to those who aren't married and to widows-it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. 9 But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust. Clearly, he was not married at that time, but whether he married afterward is also a matter of speculation.……Some believe that the Apostle 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, (Galatians 1:14).14 I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors. However, Paul might not have advanced that far before He converted to Christ. ……So, was the Apostle Paul married? It is possible that he was at one time, but again, the Bible does not specifically say.
