1 Corinthians 7:38, Doing Better
A comparison is made between the unmarried who decides to marry and the one who decides not to marry for the sake of devoting undistracted attention to the service of the Lord. The Apostle Paul says that this second person is doing better for the devotion given to serve the Lord.
MacArthur observed well, “As with the single themselves (v. 28), the choice is not between right and wrong but between good (well) and better.”
