'Better' in the Bible
But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters].
But if they do not have [sufficient] self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
So then both the father who gives his virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better.
If others share in this rightful claim over you, do not we even more? However, we did not exercise this right, but we put up with everything so that we will not hinder [the spread of] the good news of Christ.
But I have used none of these privileges, nor am I writing this [to suggest] that any such provision be made for me now. For it would be better for me to die than to have anyone deprive me of my boast [in this matter of financial support].
But in giving this next instruction, I do not praise you, because when you meet together it is not for the better but for the worse.
But earnestly desire and strive for the greater gifts [if acquiring them is going to be your goal].And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one of the choicest graces and the highest of them all: unselfish love].
and last of all, as to one untimely (prematurely, traumatically) born, He appeared to me also.
