rwp 1Corinthians:7:32
rwp@1Corinthians:7:32 @{Free from cares} (\amerimnous\). Old compound adjective (\a\ privative and \merimna\, anxiety). In N.T. only here and strkjv@Matthew:28:14| which see. {The things of the Lord} (\ta tou Kuriou\). The ideal state (so as to the widow and the virgin in verse 33|), but even the unmarried do let the cares of the world choke the word (Mark:4:19|). {How he may please the Lord} (\ps aresi ti Kurii\). Deliberative subjunctive with \ps\ retained in an indirect question. Dative case of \Kurii\. Same construction in verse 33| with \ps aresi ti gunaiki\ (his wife) and in 34| \ps aresi ti andri\ (her husband).
