1 Corinthians 7:35 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Not that I may cast a snare upon you — Who are not able to receive this saying. But for your profit — Who are able. That ye may resolutely and perseveringly wait upon the Lord — The word translated wait signifies sitting close by a person, in a good posture to hear. So Mary sat at the feet of Jesus, Luke 10:39. Without distraction — Without having the mind drawn any way from its centre; from its close attention to God; by any person, or thing, or care, or incumbrance whatsoever.

1 Corinthians 7:35

35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
