This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Doeth well (kalōs poiei). So Paul commends the father who gives his daughter in marriage (gamizei). This verb gamizō has not been found outside the N.T. See Mat 22:30.
Shall do better (kreisson poiēsei). In view of the present distress (1Co 7:26) and the shortened time (1Co 7:29). And yet, when all is said, Paul leaves the whole problem of getting married an open question to be settled by each individual case.
