Default Absaining

I am going to turn 22 this year December, So I am still young and believe am not going to marry anytime soon. For the best way for me to abstain is to stay away from anything that will lead me to sin......So I don't Courtship[infact most churches here teach this here but I do this not because of their teachings because my Heart and Spirit is focus on God, I courtship with God].I love God and I hate sin as He do, If got His Spirit also I should hate sin......Then one of my prayers is that, this scripture below applies in me for all my life....I abstain and Live to please Jesus Christ even when I would be married everything I will do would be to worship My Father God.

1 peter 1 :5-9 {5
But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,

7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. }
