certain catechresis in the vb., for the sake of the antithesis. The accs. are of limitation rather than of transitive obj. πῶς ἀρέσῃ is indirect question, retaining the deliberative sbj.—‘‘is anxious .. . (asking) how he should please,” etc. For the supreme motive, “pleasing the Dav.) cf. i= 1-5) 2UCor ν. ο εἰς, ὁ γαμµήσας, aor. of the event (pf. in 1Ο: cf. note), which brought a new care.— Accepting the reading καὶ µεµέρισται. καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἤ ἄγαμος, with the stop at µεμέρ. (the only possible punctuation with ἡ ἄγαμος in this position: see txtl. note), then it is added about the married Christian, that ‘‘he has been (since his marriage) divided,”—parcelled out (see note on i. 12): part of him is assigned to the Lord, part to the world. Lt. says that this rendering (R.V. mg.) “throws sense and parallelism into confusion, for καὶ µεμέρισται is not wanted with ver. 33, which is complete in itself”: nay, the addition is made just because the parl. would be untrue if not so qualified ; the married Christian does not care simply for “the things of the world” as the unmarried for “the things of the Lord,” he cares for both ‘‘ and is divided,” giving but half his mind to Christ (so Ewald, Hf., Hn., Ed.). The attachment of καὶ µεμέρισται to νετ. 34, with the Western reading (see txtl. note), retained by Mr., Bt., El., Lt., Sm., A.V., and R.V. ἐχέ., in accordance with most of the older commentt., gives to µερίζω a meaning doubtful in itself and without N.T. parl.: ‘And there is a distinction between the wife and the maiden”. Gd. escapes this objection by reading µεµέ- ρισται κ. 7 γυνὴ as a sentence by itself, “the wife also is divided’’—then con- tinuing, “And the unwedded maiden cares for,’”’ etc.; an awkward and im- probable construction as the text stands {but see Hn. below). Txtl. criticism and exegesis concur in making καὶ pepépiorar a further assertion about 6 γαμήσας, revealing his full disadvantage.
