1 Corinthians 7:34 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin — Whether the church be under persecution or not. The unmarried woman — If she know and use her privilege. Careth only for the things of the Lord — All her time, care, and thoughts centre in this, how she may be holy both in body and spirit. This is the standing advantage of a single life, in all ages and nations. But who makes a suitable use of it?

1 Corinthians 7:34

34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
