July 26 - 31 – Bible study questions - 1 Corinthians 7:1-6
Briefly review 1 Corinthians 1-6.
Read 1 Corinthians 7 then answer these questions:
1. What subject is discussed in chap. 7? Why did Paul write about it?
2. Does the Bible describe marriage as good or bad – 7:1? Give book/chapter/verse. (Think: Why does Paul discourage it? Study context, esp. v26.)
3. Why might one choose to marry according to 7:2?
4. Special Assignment: List purposes the Bible gives for marriage.
5. What should husband and wife do for one another – 7:3? Explain.
6. What reason is given why husband and wife should give what is due – 7:4? (Think: What does this mean, and what conclusions follow?)
7. Under what conditions may a couple refrain – 7:5? What is the reason for this rule? (Think: Describe practices that violate this rule.)
8. Case Study: Many people live together in “trial marriages” to see if they are compatible. How would this and other passages apply?
9. How does 7:2-5 emphasize the beauty of the marital relationship?
10. How does speaking by permission differ from commands – 7:6? (Think: To what verses does this statement refer?)
