This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The word translated due benevolence, signifieth due goodwill or kindness, but from 1Co_7:5, it appeareth what the apostle meaneth: Moses, Exo_21:10, calleth it, the duty of marriage; both of them using a modest term in expressing the conjugal act, as we shall observe the Scripture always doing, when there is occasion to mention what men of profane hearts are ready to make a scoff at. The apostle maketh this the mutual duty both of husband and wife, under due circumstances, therefore useth the word render, which implieth the thing required to be an act of justice.
