1 Corinthiens 7:33

33 et celui qui est marié s'inquiète des choses du monde, des moyens de plaire à sa femme.

1 Corinthiens 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 Corinthiens 7:33 In-Context

31 et ceux qui usent du monde comme n'en usant pas, car la figure de ce monde passe.

32 Or, je voudrais que vous fussiez sans inquiétude. Celui qui n'est pas marié s'inquiète des choses du Seigneur, des moyens de plaire au Seigneur;

33 et celui qui est marié s'inquiète des choses du monde, des moyens de plaire à sa femme.

34 Il y a de même une différence entre la femme et la vierge: celle qui n'est pas mariée s'inquiète des choses du Seigneur, afin d'être sainte de corps et d'esprit; et celle qui est mariée s'inquiète des choses du monde, des moyens de plaire à son mari.

35 Je dis cela dans votre intérêt; ce n'est pas pour vous prendre au piège, c'est pour vous porter à ce qui est bienséant et propre à vous attacher au Seigneur sans distraction.
