C.—Apostolic counsel in reference to remaining single; a. for the unmarried generally, b. for maidens and their fathers, c. for widows1 Corinthians 7:25-4025Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man [person, ἀνθρωπῳ,] so to be. 27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed... read more

Counsel for Times of Emergency 1 Corinthians 7:25-40 The virgin here referred to is probably the young woman who was engaged to be married, and the counsel is expressly defined to be advice, and given only under the pressure of the times, when the dissolution of all things seemed at hand. It seemed wiser not to enter upon matrimony because everything was in flux, but no sin was contracted if marriage took place, so long as it was only in the Lord, 1 Corinthians 7:39 . As pilgrims we should... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:1-40

Certain difficulties had arisen in the Corinthian Church concerning which they had sent inquiries to Paul. He now answers their questions. These answers contain principles of permanent application. The principles concerning marriage may thus be simply stated: First, marriage is in itself honorable and right. Second, where married union of converted and unconverted men and women is concerned, the believer, at least, is not to take the initiative in bringing about a dissolution. The supreme... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:31

THE PASSING WORLD‘The fashion of this world passeth away.’ 1 Corinthians 7:31 We can well imagine that St. Paul in writing these words of his Epistle to the Corinthian Church was thinking of the shifting scenes of a theatre. No doubt he had often been in a theatre. To the ancient Greek or Roman the drama was the great teacher. It was to him what the pulpit, the parliament, and the newspaper are to us. He there heard the noblest deeds of his countrymen described and praised, and the glory of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

‘But this I say brothers, the time is shortened that from now on both those who have wives be as those who have none, and those who weep as those who do not weep, and those who rejoice as those who do not rejoice, and those who buy as though they owned nothing, and those who use the world as not abusing it, for the fashion of this world passes away.’ The passage is vivid and descriptive. If it is referring to a ‘present distress’ its point is that, because of it, time is short and that in the... 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

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: while you have any thing of this world’s goods you may use them, yea, you must use them, without them you cannot live in the world; but the consideration how little the time is you are like to have them to use, should govern you in the use of them, so as you ought to take heed you do not use them to any other purpose, or for any other end, than that for which God hath appointed and given them to you. For the fashion of this world passeth away;... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

1 Corinthians 7:29-31 I. Let us contrast the world's treatment of sorrow with that of Christ. Here we use the word world in the widest sense the world of which the Apostle John speaks as including all that is not under the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which has no law but its own interest, or passion or caprice, no aims beyond those which begin and end in the present life, no understanding or care for things which are unseen but eternal. What has it to say to the crushed spirit in its... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:31

1 Corinthians 7:31 Note: I. The reason why we should not abuse this world: "For the fashion of this world passeth away." Literally, the scene changes. The surface of the world is always shifting. The moral instability of the earth, in the history of its inhabitants, is like the physical instability of the water. That man is in a pitiable plight whose soul cleaves to the fashion of this world; for it is continually moving, and every movement rends him. The redeemed of the Lord, even in the... read more
