Commentary on 1 Corinthians 7:37

Theological / Devotional

Nevertheless. This verse sets forth the opposite propositions from those set forth in v. 36, and finds its explanation in terms of that verse. The counsel in v. 36 was given “by permission, and not of commandment” (see v. 6). Whichever decision is reached and executed, whether in terms of v. 36 or v. 37, it will not be regarded by the Lord as breaking His law.

Well. Gr. kalds, the adverb related to kalos and of the same meaning (see on v. 1).
