1 Corinthians Chapter 7, Verse 33
From BibleWiki
33: ο δε γαμησας μεριμνα τα του κοσμου πως αρεσει τη γυναικι
33: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the
world, how he may please his wife.
33: But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the
world: how he may please his wife. And he is divided.
Careth for the things that are of the world. Is under a necessity of giving attention to the things of the world; or cannot give his undivided attention and interest to the things of religion. This would be especially true in times of persecution.
How he mast please his wife. How he may gratify her; how he may accommodate himself to her temper and wishes, to make her happy. The apostle here plainly intimates that there would be danger that the man would be so anxious to gratify his wife, as to interfere with his direct religious duties.
