The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:2-17

Marriage: its nature and duties. I. NATURE . 1. It is the union of one man and one woman. ( 1 Corinthians 7:2 .) Polygamy and polyandry are rigorously excluded from the sanction of the Christian faith. The former was tolerated by God in early times, but never enjoined or commended. The first union, in Eden, was of the Christian order. The wisdom of the dictum of Christianity has been exemplified by universal experience. All other arrangements are prolific of evils. 2. It is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:8-16

The marriage tie. When Christianity spread abroad among the heathen, very often, in a family, "one would be taken and another left," and much family and social difficulty was made when a heathen husband or a heathen wife was converted, and the other partner remained in heathen darkness. There could be no doubt that Christianity demanded separation from heathenism, and even declared a social connection with heathen people to be morally perilous; and it might very readily be inferred that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16

Divorce: mixed marriages. Having spoken of celibacy and marriage, and having presented considerations for their guidance in the choice of the one or the other, the apostle proceeds to speak of persons already married. And here two different cases are dealt with: I. WHERE BOTH PARTIES ARE CHRISTIAN . In this case the Lord Jesus, in his recorded teaching, had already given a decision, and Paul refers them to his words ( vide Matthew 5:32 ; Matthew 19:9 ). 1. The ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:11

But and if she depart - If she have withdrawn by a rash and foolish act; if she has attempted to dissolve the marriage vow, she is to remain unmarried, or be reconciled. She is not at liberty to marry another. This may refer, I suppose, to instances where wives, ignorant of the rule of Christ, and supposing that they had a right to separate themselves from their husbands, had rashly left them, and had supposed that the marriage contract was dissolved. Paul tells them that this was impossible;... read more

1 Corinthians 7:10-11. The married I command Greek, τοις δε γεγαμηκοσι παραγγελλω , Now those that have married I charge: so these words should be rendered, the phrase being the same with that in 1 Timothy 1:3, rendered by our translators, that thou mightest charge some. Yet not I Only, or not I by any new revelation, nor by mere counsel, or prudential advice, as 1 Corinthians 7:25; 1 Corinthians 7:40. But the Lord Namely, in the first institution of marriage, Genesis 2:24; and the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16

Problems of separation and divorce (7:10-16)Paul claims the authority of Christ in reminding the Corinthians that a Christian husband and wife should not separate (cf. Matthew 19:6). If they do, every effort should be made to bring them together again. If this fails, they must remain single (10-11).In the examples that follow, Paul knows of no command of Christ to quote, though he believes his advice carries the authority of the Spirit of God (see v. 40). He considers situations other than... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:11

(But should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.Paul left out of view in this verse the exception Jesus gave in Matthew 19:9, "except it be for fornication"; but this may not be construed as a denial of it. Paul's failure to mention the exception was likely due to the fact that it did not apply in the case propounded by the letter from Corinth. As DeHoff said, "Paul told her either to remain unmarried or else be... read more
