38: ωστε και ο εκγαμιζων καλως ποιει ο δε μη εκγαμιζων κρεισσον ποιει— edit Textus Receptus
38: So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.- edit KJV text
38: Therefore both he that giveth his virgin in marriage doth well: and he that giveth her not doth better.— edit Douay text


Doeth well. Does right; violates no law in it, and is not to be blamed for it.

Doeth better. Does that which is on the whole to be preferred, if it can be done. He more certainly, in the present circumstances, consults here happiness by withholding her from the marriage connexion than he could by allowing her to enter it.
