1 Corinthians 7:36-40

36But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virginG3933 daughter, if she beG1510 past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marryG1060. 37But he that standeth stedfast in his heartG2588, having no necessityG318, but hath powerG1849 as touching his ownG2398 will, and hath determined this in his ownG2398 heartG2588, to keepG5083 his ownG2398 virginG3933 daughter, shall do wellG2573. 38So then both he that giveth his ownG1438 virginG3933 daughter in marriage doeth wellG2573; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better. 39A wifeG1135 isG1510 boundG1210 for so long timeG5550 as her husbandG435 liveth; but if the husbandG435 beG1510 dead, she isG1510 freeG1658 to beG1510 marriedG1060 to whom she will; onlyG3440 in the LordG2962. 40But she isG1510 happier if she abideG3306 as she isG1510, after my judgmentG1106: and I thinkG1380 that I alsoG1161 have the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
