1 Coríntios 7
Ambrose of Milan · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
1 Coríntios 7:34
"The unmarried woman and the virgin think of the things of the Lord, that they may be holy in body and spirit." She has then her wall against the tempests of this world, and so fortified by the defence of divine protection she is disturbed by none of the blasts of this world. — Epistle 63, 38
1 Coríntios 7:38
The one is bound by the chains of marriage, the other is free from chains; the one is under the Law, the other under Grace. Marriage is good, for thereby the means of continuing the human race has been devised, but virginity is better, for thereby the heritage of the heavenly kingdom is regained, and the mode of attaining to heavenly rewards discovered. — Letters 41-50, Letter 42, 3
