John Chrysostom, on 1Cor 7:36
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
1Cor 7:36 · Douay-Rheims
“But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.”
On this verse:
“"But if any man think that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin." Here he seems to be talking about marriage; but all that he says relates to virginity; for he allows even a second marriage, saying, "only in the Lord." Now what means, "in the Lord?" With chastity, with honor: for this is needed everywhere, and must be pursued for else we cannot see God.”
