Chapter 7 of 1 Corinthians addresses various issues related to marriage and single life, such as the importance of sexual abstinence, the possibility of divorce and the ideal state of life to serve God. The following verses are examples of biblical passages that deal with similar themes:
Proverbs 5:18-19: "Bendite your spring, and rejoice with the woman of your youth. As a loving cervo, and graceful Gazella, your breasts sat down at all times; and for your love you are attracted to perpetually . " This verse highlights the importance of marriage and sexual satisfaction within it.
Matthew 19:9: "I say, however, that anyone who repudiates his wife, not because of prostitution, and marrying another, commits adultery; and what to marry the repudiated also commits adultery." This verse addresses the possibility of divorce, which is also discussed in 1 Corinthians 7.
Proverbs 31:10-12: "Virtuous woman, who will find her? Her value greatly exceeds Rubis. The heart of her husband trusts her, and will not lack anything. She is good and not evil every day, of your life." This verse presents the figure of the virtuous woman, which is a reference for Christians who wish to marry.
1 Timothy 5:8: "But if someone is not careful of yours, and especially those of their family, it has denied faith, and is worse than the unfaithful." This verse emphasizes the importance of family responsibility and the protection of loved ones.
1 Peter 3:7: "Also, husbands, cohabiting with them with understanding, giving honor to women, as a weaker vessel; as you are their coercers of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be prevented." This verse highlights the importance of love, respect and mutual understanding between husband and wife, which are topics discussed in 1 Corinthians 7.
