Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on 1Cor 7:7

“For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.”

“even as I--having tile gift of continence (Mat 19:11-12). This wish does not hold good absolutely, else the extension of mankind and of the Church would cease; but relatively to "the present distress" (Co1 7:26).”
