1 Corinthians 7:31
_ _ not abusing it — not abusing it by an overmuch using of it. The meaning of “abusing” here is, not so much perverting, as using it to the full [Bengel]. We are to use it, “not to take our fill” of its pursuits as our chief aim (compare Luke 10:40-42). As the planets while turning on their own axis, yet revolve round the sun; so while we do our part in our own worldly sphere, God is to be the center of all our desires.
_ _ fashion — the present fleeting form. Compare Psalms 39:6, “vain show”; Psalms 73:20, “a dream”; James 4:14, “a vapor.”
_ _ passeth away — not merely shall pass away, but is now actually passing away. The image is drawn from a shifting scene in a play represented on the stage (1 John 2:17). Paul inculcates not so much the outward denial of earthly things, as the inward spirit whereby the married and the rich, as well as the unmarried and the poor, would be ready to sacrifice all for Christ’s sake. |
1 Corinthians 7:31
And they that use this world, as not abusing it — Not seeking happiness in it, but in God: using every thing therein only in such a manner and degree as most tends to the knowledge and love of God. For the whole scheme and fashion of this world — This marrying, weeping, rejoicing, and all the rest, not only will pass, but now passeth away, is this moment flying off like a shadow. |
1 Corinthians 7:31
And they that use this (c) world, as not abusing [it]: for the (d) fashion of this world passeth away.
(c) Those things which God gives us here.
(d) The guise, and shape, and fashion: by which he shows us that there is nothing in this world that continues. |
