1 Corinthians7:38
Doeth well. Does right; violates no law in it, and is not to be blamed for it.
Doeth better. Does that which is on the whole to be preferred, if it can be done. He more certainly, in the present circumstances, consults here happiness by withholding her from the marriage connexion than he could by allowing her to enter it.
(a) "So then" Rom 7:2
