1 Corinthians 7:1

It is good [κ α λ ο ν]. See on John 10:11. Not merely expedient, but morally salutary. The statement, however, is made in the light of circumstances, see ver. 26, and is to be read with others, such as 2 Corinthians 11:2; Romans 7:4; Ephesians 5:28-33, in all which marriage is made the type of the union between Christ and His Church. See also Hebrews 13:4.

5 May give yourselves [σ χ ο λ α σ η τ ε]. Lit., may have leisure. Like the Latin phrase vacaare rei to be free for a thing, and so to devote one's self to it.

Incontinency [α κ ρ α σ ι α ν]. Only here and Matthew 23:35, on which see note.
