1 Corinthians 7:36-38 is one of the most challenging texts in the New Testament, and its intriguing nature has led many scholars over the centuries to work on interpreting it. The primary issue lies in the relationship between “τις” and “τὴν παρθένον αὐτοῦ” in 7:36. In this paper, I review the three main interpretations that scholars have proposed over the last two thousand years: Virgines Subintroductae, fiancé-fiancée, and father-daughter. By comparing the various forms of exegesis, I find that each interpretation has its own merits and shortcomings from linguistic and logical perspectives. In light of this, I reinterpret the passage based on the text, context, and social context. Comparatively speaking, the father-daughter interpretation is the most persuasive of the three because it conforms to both Pauline theology and teachings, as well as Roman law and the cultural customs of 1st-century Roman-colonized Corinth.
