ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 7 v17

KEEPING TO GOD’S ASSIGNMENT. AMBROSIASTER: God has assigned to each person the time of his salvation, that is, the time when he might believe, and he will keep that person until then. Paul tells the Corinthians that this is his general rule, so that when they hear that others are expected to follow it, they will be more willing to do so themselves. It is always easier to do something when you see others doing the same. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT IMPEDE HOLINESS. THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: It is wrong to suppose that the circumstances which prevailed when a person was converted stand in the way of his becoming holy. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.
