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.

For your own profit - not to display my apostolic authority.

Not ... cast a snare upon you - upon your conscience. Not that, by hard injunctions, I may entangle you with scruples, where there is no sin.

Comely - becoming under present circumstances. Attend upon, [ euparedron (G2137b)] - literally, 'assiduously wait on:' sitting down to the duty (cf. Luke 10:39, Mary; Luke 2:37, Anna; 1 Timothy 5:5).

Distraction - the same [Greek, aperispastoos (G563)] as "cumbered" (Luke 10:40, Martha).
