So then he that gives her in marriage does well; but he that gives her not in marriage does better.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 7:38 Go To 1 Corinthians 7
Clement Of Alexandria
AD 215
Right mystically and sacredly the apostle, teaching us the choice which is truly gracious, not in the way of rejection of other things as bad, but so as to do things better than what is good, has spoken, saying, "So he that giveth his virgin in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not doeth better; as far as respects seemliness and undistracted attendance on the Lord."
