Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
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.
