1 Corinthians 7:38

Doeth well (kalwv poiei). So Paul commends the father who gives his daughter in marriage (gamizei). This verb gamizw has not been found outside the N.T. See on Matthew 22:30.

Shall do better (kreisson poihsei). In view of the present distress (I Corinthians 7:26) and the shortened time (I Corinthians 7:29). And yet, when all is said, Paul leaves the whole problem of getting married an open question to be settled by each individual case.
