1 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 7New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
virgins: Or “those who have never married.” The Greek word par·theʹnos, often rendered “virgin,” literally refers to “one who has never engaged in sexual intercourse” and can in a literal and figurative sense refer both to men and to women. (Mt 25:1-12; Lu 1:27; Re 14:4; see study note on Ac 21:9.) However, in a broader application, the verses that follow (1Co 7:32-35) apply not only to virgins but also to those who are unmarried.
I give my opinion: Here Paul expresses his personal opinion regarding marriage and singleness. He does not condemn or forbid marriage, but under inspiration he highlights the advantages of singleness in the Lord’s service.—See study note on 1Co 7:12.
