1 Corintios 7:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 7:27

Art thou bound unto a wife?
&c.] Or to a woman; either by promise, or by espousal, or by consummate marriage; either of which is a tic, or obligation, a bond, and especially the latter; marriage is such a bond as cannot be dissolved, but by the death of one of the parties; see ( Romans 7:2 ) unless in case of adultery, or of wilful desertion: and it is a bond which mutually obliges; as the husband is bound by the law of marriage to live chastely and lovingly with his wife, and to take care of her, and provide for her; so the wife is bound by the same law to live in like manner with her husband, and to submit unto him, and obey him:

seek not to be loosed;
do not depart from her, nor seek to be divorced, nor even desire to be loosed by death:

art thou loosed from a wife?
being either never married, or else if having been married the wife is dead, or legally divorced for a just cause:

seek not a wife,
or woman; make no inquiry after one; be content to live without one; enter not into a marriage state, nor take any step towards it; it is best to continue loosed, for the reason above given, that is, provided the person has the gift of continence, otherwise not; see ( 1 Corinthians 7:5 ) .

1 Corintios 7:27 In-Context

25 Ahora, con respecto a la pregunta acerca de las jóvenes que todavía no se han casado, para ellas no tengo ningún mandato del Señor. Pero el Señor, en su misericordia, me ha dado sabiduría digna de confianza, que les transmitiré a ustedes.

26 Debido a la crisis actual,
pienso que es mejor que cada uno se quede como está.

27 Si tienes esposa, no procures terminar tu matrimonio. Si no tienes esposa, no busques casarte;

28 pero si te casas, no es pecado; y si una joven se casa, tampoco es pecado. Sin embargo, los que se casen en este tiempo tendrán problemas, y estoy tratando de evitárselos.

29 Déjenme decirles lo siguiente, amados hermanos: el tiempo que queda es muy breve. Así que, de ahora en adelante, los que estén casados no deberían concentrarse únicamente en su matrimonio.
