F I R S T C O R I N T H I A N S. CHAP. VII. In this chapter the apostle answers some cases proposed to him by the Corinthians about marriage. He, I. Shows them that marriage was appointed as a remedy against fornication, and therefore that persons had better marry than burn, 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 . II. He gives direction to those who are married to continue together, though they might have an unbelieving relative, unless the unbeliever would part, in which case a Christian would not be in bondage, 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 . III. He shows them that becoming Christians does not change their external state; and therefore advises every one to continue, in the general, in that state in which he was called, 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 . IV. He advises them, by reason of the present distress, to keep themselves unmarried; hints the shortness of time, and how they should improve it, so as to grow dead and indifferent to the comforts of the world; and shows them how worldly cares hinder their devotions, and distract them in the service of God, 1 Corinthians 7:25-35 . V. He directs them in the disposal of their virgins, 1 Corinthians 7:36-38 . VI. And closes the chapter with advice to widows how to dispose of themselves in that state, 1 Corinthians 7:39 ; 1 Corinthians 7:40 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-9" class="com-number"
