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
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
The one is bound by marriage bonds, the other is free. One is under the law, the other under grace. Marriage is good because through it the means of human continuity are found. But virginity is better, because through it are attained the inheritance of a heavenly kingdom and a continuity of heavenly rewards.
