1 Coríntios 7:33

33 mas quem é casado cuida das coisas do mundo, em como há de agradar a sua mulher,

1 Coríntios 7:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 7:33

But he that is married careth for the things that are of
the world
Attending diligently to the business and calling of life, he is engaged in, that he may provide food and clothing, and other necessaries for the support and sustenance of his family:

how he may please his wife:
and make her and his children easy and comfortable. This also is not to be understood of every individual person in a married state as matter of fact; for, on the one hand, there are some who take no care to please their wives and provide for their families, and are worse than infidels; and, on the other hand, there are others who take a proper care to make a suitable provision for their wives and children, to the satisfaction of both; and yet this is not their only care, they also care for the things of the Lord, and concern themselves much for his honour and glory: but the sense is, that, generally speaking, persons in such a state are greatly involved in worldly cares, and have not that leisure, and those opportunities, that single persons have to attend religious exercises; wherefore the single state, on this account, is, in the apostle's opinion, the more preferable.

1 Coríntios 7:33 In-Context

31 e os que usam deste mundo, como se dele não usassem em absoluto, porque a aparência deste mundo passa.

32 Pois quero que estejais livres de cuidado. Quem não é casado cuida das coisas do Senhor, em como há de agradar ao Senhor,

33 mas quem é casado cuida das coisas do mundo, em como há de agradar a sua mulher,

34 e está dividido. A mulher não casada e a virgem cuidam das coisas do Senhor para serem santas, tanto no corpo como no espírito; a casada, porém, cuida das coisas do mundo, em como há de agradar ao marido.

35 E digo isto para proveito vosso; não para vos enredar, mas para o que é decente, e a fim de poderdes dedicar-vos ao Senhor sem distração alguma.
