1 Corinthians 7:28
_ _ trouble in the flesh — Those who marry, he says, shall incur “trouble in the flesh” (that is, in their outward state, by reason of the present distress), not sin, which is the trouble of the spirit.
_ _ but I spare you — The emphasis in the Greek is on “I.” My motive in advising you so is, to “spare you” such trouble in the flesh. So Alford after Calvin, Bengel, and others. Estius from Augustine explains it, “I spare you further details of the inconveniences of matrimony, lest even the incontinent may at the peril of lust be deterred from matrimony: thus I have regard for your infirmity.” The antithesis in the Greek of “I ... you” and “such” favors the former. |
1 Corinthians 7:28
Such will have trouble in the flesh — Many outward troubles. But I spare you — I speak as little and as tenderly as possible. |
1 Corinthians 7:28

(y) By the "flesh" he understands whatever things belong to this present life, for marriage brings with it many problems. So that he leans more to a single life, not because it is a service more agreeable to God than marriage is, but for those problems which (if it were possible) he would wish all men to be avoid, so that they might give themselves to God alone.
(z) I would your weakness were provided for. |
- thou hast:
1 Corinthians 7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [her] age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
|
- Nevertheless:
1 Corinthians 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.
1 Corinthians 7:32-34 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: ... 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.

- but:
1 Corinthians 7:35 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.
