Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Pero el que está unido al Señor - El verdadero cristiano, unido por la fe al Señor Jesús; ver Juan 15:1 ff.

Es un espíritu - Es decir, en un sentido similar a aquel en el que un hombre y su esposa son un solo cuerpo. No debe tomarse literalmente; pero el sentido es que hay una unión íntima y cercana; están unidos en sentimiento, espíritu, intención, disposición. El argumento es hermoso. Es: “Como la unión de las almas es más importante que la de los cuerpos; como esa unión es más duradera, querida y duradera de lo que puede ser cualquier unión de cuerpo con cuerpo, y como nuestra unión con él es con un Espíritu puro y santo, es inapropiado que cortemos ese lazo y rompamos ese vínculo sagrado , al unirse a una ramera. La unión con Cristo es más íntima, completa y pura de lo que puede ser entre un hombre y una mujer; y esa unión debe considerarse como sagrada e inviolable ". ¡Oh, si todos los cristianos sintieran y consideraran esto como deberían, cómo se alejarían de las conexiones que a menudo forman en la tierra! Compare Efesios 4:4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verso 17. Es un espíritu... El que está unido a Dios por la fe en Cristo Jesús, recibe su Espíritu y se hace partícipe de la naturaleza divina. ¿Quién puede cambiar tal relación por la comunión con una ramera o para cualquier tipo de gratificación sensual? ¡El que puede debe estar lejos y profundamente caído!
