Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ὁ γαμίζων & ὁ μὴ γαμίζων
the_‹one› betrothing & the_‹one› not betrothing
Paul uses the words the one marrying and the one not marrying to speak of people in general, not one specific man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of these words with a form that indicates people in general. Alternate translation: [anyone who marries … anyone who does not marry]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ὁ γαμίζων τὴν ἑαυτοῦ παρθένον
the_‹one› betrothing the ˱of˲_himself virgin
Here Paul could be referring to: (1) a man marrying his fiancée. This fits with the fiancé interpretation. Alternate translation: [the man who marries his fiancée] (2) a father giving his daughter in marriage. This fits with the father interpretation. Alternate translation: [a father who give his daughter in marriage]
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ὁ μὴ γαμίζων
the_‹one› the_‹one› not betrothing
Here Paul could be referring to: (1) a man not marrying his fiancée. This fits with the fiancé interpretation. Alternate translation: [the man who does not marry his fiancée] (2) a father not giving his daughter in marriage. This fits with the father interpretation. Alternate translation: [a father who does not give his daughter in marriage]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
ποιήσει
/will_be/_doing
Here Paul uses the future tense to identify something that is true in general. If your language would not use the future tense for something that is generally true, you could use whatever tense is natural here. Alternate translation: [does]
7:1-40 Paul consistently states his strong conviction that true Christians, as slaves of Christ, are wholly claimed by Christ the Lord for his own service. Because of this, he recommends that Christians remain single, but concedes that getting married is no sin.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
