But as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord has called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 7:17 Go To 1 Corinthians 7
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
God has assigned to each person the time of his salvation, that is, the time when he might believe, and he will keep that person until then. Paul tells the Corinthians that this is his general rule, so that when they hear that others are expected to follow it, they will be more willing to do so themselves. It is always easier to do something when you see others doing the same. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
