1 Corintios 7:38 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 7:38

So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doth well
Does that which is in its own nature good; that which is agreeable to the will of God, is of his institution and appointment, and therefore must be good, and answer many good ends and purposes. Such an one that marries his daughter, he seeing a necessity for it, and a propriety in it, does a very good thing; secures her chastity, and his own credit; prevents fornication, and other evils that might follow; consults the good of mankind, and the honour of religion.

But he that giveth [her] not in marriage doth better;
not a better action in itself, simply considered; but more profitable and advantageous under such and such circumstances, with such and such conditions and consequences; since hereby a single person is more fit to encounter with and endure persecutions, is freer from the cares of life, and more at liberty to wait upon the Lord, and give up himself to his service.

1 Corintios 7:38 In-Context

36 No obstante, si un hombre piensa que está tratando a su prometida en forma impropia y que inevitablemente cederá a sus pasiones, que se case con ella como él desea. No es pecado.

37 Pero si ha decidido con toda firmeza no casarse y no hay urgencia y puede controlar sus pasiones, hace bien en no casarse.

38 Así que el que se casa con su prometida hace bien, y el que no se casa hace aún mejor.

39 Una esposa está ligada a su esposo mientras el esposo vive. Si su esposo muere, ella queda libre para casarse con quien quiera, pero solamente si ese hombre ama al Señor.

40 Sin embargo, en mi opinión, sería mejor para ella no volver a casarse, y pienso que, al decirles esto, les doy consejo del Espíritu de Dios.
