I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 7:8 Go To 1 Corinthians 7
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
We must not understand these words to mean that widows are not unmarried because they once embraced the married state. Widows are unmarried, but not all unmarried are widows. That is why Paul makes a distinction here.
