Hn., by a very tempting conjecture, proposes to insert a second µεμέρισται after the first: πῶς ἀρέσῃ τ. γυναικί, καὶ µεμέρισται' µεμέρισται καὶ ἡ γυνή. ἡ ἄγαμος καὶ ἡ παρθένος μεριμνῷ κ.τ.λ.--- “Πε that has married is anxious in regard to the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and is divided; divided also is the wife. The unmarried (woman), with the maiden, is anxious as to the things of the Lord.”” This would account for the double καί, which embarrasses the critical text; it gives a fuller and more balanced sense, in harmony moreover with Paul’s principle of putting husband and wife on equal terms (2 ff., 11-16) ; and nothipg was easier than for a doubled word, in the unpunctuated and unspaced early copies, to fall out in transcription. Placing the full stop at pepéprorar, without the aid of Hn.’s emendation, 7 γυνὴ ἤ ἄγαμος καὶ ἡ παρθένος are made the combined subject of µεριμνᾷ (34), “the unmarried woman’”’ being the general category, within which ‘the maiden,” whose case raised this discussion (25), is specially noted; the two subjects forming one idea, take a sing. verb.
The purpose ἵνα ᾖ ayia κ.τ.λ. is the subjective counterpart of the question πῶς ἀρέσῃ of ver. 32; note the similar combination in Rom. xii. 1, also 1 Thess. iv. 3; and see notes on ἁγίοις, ἤγιασ- µένοια, i. 2. Holiness τῷ σώματι (dat. of sphere; see Wr., p. 270) comes first in this connexion (cf. 4; vi. 20), and τῷ amvevpare is added to make up the entire person and to mark the inner region ot sanctification; “the spirit’? which ani- mates the body, being akin to God (John iv. 24) and communicating with His Spirit (Rom. viii. 16), is the basis and organ of our sanctification (cf. 1 Thess. v. 23, 2 Thess. ii. 13).—Of ἡ yapycaca, ‘she that has married,” on the contrary, the same must be said as of 6 γαµήσας (33); she studies to ‘please her hus- band” as well as ‘‘the Lord’’.
