Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Sepa que no ... - Este es el tercer argumento contra el libertinaje. Es que nosotros, como cristianos, estamos unidos a Cristo (compárense las notas en Juan 15:1 ff); y que es abominable tomar a los miembros de Cristo y someterlos a la contaminación y al pecado. Cristo era puro, totalmente puro. Estamos profesamente unidos a él. Por lo tanto, estamos obligados a ser puros, como él lo fue. ¿Deberá prostituirse lo que es parte, por así decirlo, del Salvador puro y santo a los abrazos impuros e impíos?

¡Dios no lo quiera! - Vea la nota en Romanos 3:4. Esto expresa el profundo aborrecimiento del apóstol ante el pensamiento. No necesitaba argumentos para mostrarlo. El mundo entero se rebeló ante la idea; y el lenguaje apenas podía expresar la abominación del pensamiento mismo.

Sepa que no ... - Esto está diseñado para confirmar y fortalecer lo que acaba de decir.

El que está unido - A quién está unido; o con quién está conectado.

Es un cuerpo - Es decir, es para él considerado como uno; Está estrecha e íntimamente unida. Expresiones similares ocurren en escritores clásicos. Ver Grocio y Bloomfield.

Para dos, dice él ... - Esto ilustra Pablo mediante una referencia a la formación de la conexión matrimonial en Ger. Romanos 2:14. No puede entenderse que afirme que ese pasaje tenía una referencia original a conexiones ilícitas; pero se usa con fines ilustrativos. Dios había declarado que el hombre y su esposa se convirtieron en uno; en un sentido similar en conexiones ilegales las partes se volvieron una.
