John Etheridge Peshitta-Aramaic NT (1849)

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 7:34

_ _ difference also — Not merely the unmarried and the married man differ in their respective duties, but also the wife and the virgin. Indeed a woman undergoes a greater change of condition than a man in contracting marriage.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 7:25-35.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 7:34

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?
