Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Due benevolence. An euphemistic and needless modification by the copyists of the pure and simple expression of St. Paul, which, as shown by the best manuscripts, is "her due" - debitum tori. St. Paul is evidently entering on these subjects, not out of any love for them; but because all kinds of extreme views - immoral indifference and over scrupulous asceticism - had claimed dominance among the Corinthians.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence.--Rather, Let the husband render unto the wife her due--such being the reading of the better MSS. In this verse the Apostle answers the scruples of those who already were married and who doubted whether they should continue so.
