Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:35

‘And this I say for your own profit, not that I may cast a noose on you, but for that which is noble (or ‘proper’) and that you may attend on the Lord without distraction.’ Paul emphasises that he is not trying to restrict them or trap them. He has their own advantage in mind. He wants them to lead noble lives (compare Mark 15:43 - ‘ a noble councillor’, same word, one well thought of and highly respected). He wants them, like himself, to attend on the Lord without distraction. But he is well... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:36

‘But if any man thinks that he behaves ignobly towards his virgin, if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so demands, let him do what he will. He does not sin. Let them marry.’ There is some difficulty in interpreting the following verses in determining whether it is speaking of two persons who are in some sort of platonic relationship or to the relationship of daughter to father, or both. No mention of ‘daughter’ is made in the Greek so that much depends on the interpretation of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:37

‘But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power as touching his own will, and has determined thus in his own heart, to keep his own virgin state, shall do well.’ We must interpret this verse in the light of 1 Corinthians 7:36. It cannot therefore be saying that if the man nobly determines to force his daughter to remain a virgin against her will he is doing well. That would be heartless and wrong. It must therefore be referring to a man making a decision about... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:38

‘So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who gives her not in marriage will do better.’ ‘Gives in marriage.’ The verb is gamizo which is an intensive form of gameo - ‘to marry’ - and means ‘give in marriage’, but can also mean ‘to marry’. It could thus be translated, ‘he who marries his own virgin does well and he who does not marry her does better.’ However Paul’s change of verb suggest the translation above is correct. But whichever we use the principle... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:39

‘A wife is bound for as long as her husband lives, but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord. But she is happier if she abides as she is, according to my judgment. And I consider that I also have the Spirit of God.’ Finally he deals with a wife whose husband dies. She is now faced again with a choice whether to marry or not. Again the same principles apply. For her to marry is good. There is no sin in that and it could have positive results, as... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:8-24

1 Corinthians 7:8-Jeremiah : . He now passes on to special classes. First, those who are unmarried or have lost their partners. It would be best for them to follow Paul’ s example and remain as they are. But if they have not the gift of continence, it would be better to marry than to be inflamed with illicit desire. The married must abide in the married state, as Jesus Himself commands. If the wife should leave her husband, she must refrain from contracting a new union, or, if she feels she... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:25-40

1 Corinthians 7:25-Matthew : . Paul now passes to the case of virgins, on which the church had invited his judgment. The section is one of peculiar difficulty. It is generally thought that Paul is dealing with the relations of a father (or guardian) to the marriage of his daughter (or ward). The decision whether the maiden should be married, and if so to whom, rested with the father. In that case his general principle holds good that in view of the impending distress it is better for no new... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:24

In whatsoever state or condition, whether he be married or unmarried, whether he be a master or a servant, whether he were before circumcised or uncircumcised, let him not think Christianity obligeth him to alter it; he may abide in it, only he must abide in it with God, as one who remembereth God’s eye is upon him, and seeth him, and that he is bound to approve himself in it unto God, and to keep a good conscience towards him, as one that is a member of the church of God, and under the laws of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:25

He had before spoken to married persons and widows, now he comes to speak concerning virgins; and though he mentions only the female sex, yet the following words show that his advice extended to both. As to them he saith, he had no special direction from Christ, none that would suit the case of every virgin; but yet he would give his advice, what seemed to him best. And he would have them look upon him as one that himself had received mercy from the Lord, and as he desired to be faithful in the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:26

Good here signifieth convenient, (as before), if other circumstances of particular persons make it not sinful; or better with respect to the present distress or necessity: by which, without doubt, the apostle meaneth, not the common necessities of all men that are born once to die, (which is the more easy the fewer relations we have to part from), nor yet of family troubles and concerns, for there is none who hath a family in this world to look after, but will have trouble in the flesh; but the... read more
