ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 7 v28

SPARING THEM WORLDLY TROUBLES. ORIGEN: The virgin is spared earthly troubles and set free by her purity, as she awaits the blessed Bridegroom. COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 3.39.51-52.

IF YOU MARRY, YOU DO NOT SIN. AMBROSIASTER: The man who marries does not sin because he is doing something which is permitted. But if he refuses to do it, he earns merit and a crown in heaven, for it takes great self-control to avoid doing something which is not expressly forbidden. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

THOSE CALLED TO VIRGINITY SHOULD NOT MARRY. CHRYSOSTOM: Paul is not speaking about the woman who has chosen virginity, for if such a woman decides to marry, she has indeed sinned. If widows are condemned for entering into second marriages, how much more is this true of those called to remain virgins. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 19.7.
