v. 6,7. τοῦτο δὲ λέγω points to the leading direction given in ver. 2, from which vv. 3-5 digressed: “I advise you to be married (though I think celibacy good, 1), κατὰ ouvyva@pny,” secundum indulgentiam (Vg.)—1.e., συγκαταβαίνων +. ἀσθενείᾳ ὑμῶν (Τ Πρ.); οὐ kar’ ἐπιταγήν, —ex concessione, non ex imperio (Bz.). The rendering “ permission ” is somewhat misleading; συνγνώµη is quite distinct from the γνώµη opposed to ἐπιταγὴ in ver. 25; it signifies either pardon (venia, excuse for a fault), or, as here, allowance, regard for circumstances and tempera- ment.—In θέλω δὲ κ.τ.λ. the Ap. states his personal bent, which he had set aside in the recommendation just given: ‘ But I would have all men to be as indeed myself,” sc. celibem—and contentedly so (cf. Acts xxvi, 29). ὡς καὶ ἐμαυτόν, paratactic acc. (attracted to πάντας ἂν- θρώπους) = ὡς καὶ αὐτός εἰμι; καὶ em- phasises the assertion that the writer zs what he would like others to be. It is manifest (see also ix. 5) that the Ap. was unmarried, although Clem. Alex. and some moderns have inferred otherwise

from Phil. iv. 3. That he had never been married is by no means certain. Two things, however, are clear: that if P. had known the married state, it was before his apostleship— wife and chil- dren are never hinted at, he goes about entirely free from such ties”’ (Lt.) ; further, that if in early life he had entered this state, it was not δι ἀκρασίαν; he pos- sessed the “ grace-gift” (χάρισμα) of undisquieted continence (opposed to πυροῦσθαι, g; cf. Matt. xix. 12), which was in his case an adjunct of his χάρις ἀποστολῆς. --''"Ἠούψενετ (=I cannot have every one like myself, but) each has a charism of his own from God, the one in this shape and the other in that.” 6 δὲ οὕτως does not refer to the married Christian, as though his state were in itself a charism, but to any special en- dowment for service in Christ’s kingdom other than that stated. On χάρισμα see i. 7; and cf. xii. 4-11.
