# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Paul is speaking to the Corinthians as if he were speaking to each person, so all these instances of "you" and the command "do not seek" here are singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])

|
|
# Are you bound to a wife? Do not ...
|
|
|
|
Paul uses this question to introduce a possible condition. The question can be translated as a phrase with "if." Alternate translation: "If you are bound to a wife, do not" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
