Only here in the New Testament. From εὐ well πάρεδρος settingbeside. That ye may attend is a kind of circumlocution. The Greek reads literally: for that which is seemly and for that which is assiduous. Assiduous conveys the sense of the word as nearly as possible, since etymologically it means sitting close at. One is reminded of Mary at Bethany sitting at Jesus' feet, Luke 10:39. [source]
ροχον Brochon is a noose or slip-knot used for lassoing animals, old word, only here in N.T. Papyri have an example “hanged by a noose.” Επιβαλω Epibalō is second aorist active subjunctive of επιβαλλω epiballō old verb to cast upon. Paul does not wish to capture the Corinthians by lasso and compel them to do what they do not wish about getting married. For that which is seemly (προς το ευσχημον pros to euschēmon). Old adjective (ευ eu well, σχημων schēmōn shapely, comely, from σχημα schēma figure). For the purpose of decorum. Attend upon the Lord Adjective construed with προς το pros to before, late word (Hesychius) from ευ eu well, and παρεδρος paredros sitting beside, “for the good position beside the Lord” (associative instrumental case of Κυριωι Kuriōi). Cf. Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:39). Without distraction (απερισπαστως aperispastōs). Late adverb (Polybius, Plutarch, lxx) from the adjective απερισπαστος aperispastos (common in the papyri) from α a privative and περισπαω perispaō to draw around (Luke 10:40). [source]
