Augustine of Hippo, on 1Cor 7:8
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
1Cor 7:8 · Douay-Rheims
“But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.”
On this verse:
“We must not understand these words to mean that widows are not unmarried because they once embraced the married state. Widows are unmarried, but not all unmarried are widows. That is why Paul makes a distinction here.”
