1 Corinthians 7:36-40

36HoweverG1161, ifG1487 someoneG5100 thinksG3543 he is acting inappropriatelyG807 towardG1909 hisG846 betrothedG3933, and ifG1437 she isG1510 beyond her youthG5230 andG2532 they oughtG3784 to marry ,1 let him doG4160 asG3739 he wishesG2309; he is not sinningG3756 G264; they should get marriedG1060. 37ButG1161 theG3739 man who is firmlyG1476 establishedG2476 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588 and underG2192 noG3361 constraintG318 , withG2192 controlG1849 overG4012 his willG2307 andG2532 resolveG2919 inG1722 his heartG2588 not to marry theG1438 virginG3933,2 he will doG4160 wellG2573.

38So thenG5620 G2532, he whoG3588 marries theG3588 virginG3933 doesG4160 wellG2573, butG2532 he whoG3588 does notG3361 marryG1061 her doesG4160 even betterG2908.

39A wifeG1135 is boundG1210 to herG846 husbandG435 as long asG3745 G5550 he livesG2198. ButG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 diesG2837, she isG1510 freeG1658 to marryG1060 anyoneG3739 she wishesG2309, as long asG3440 he belongs toG1722 the LordG2962.3 40InG2596 myG1699 judgmentG1106, howeverG1161, she isG1510 happierG3107 ifG1437 she remainsG3306 as she isG3779. AndG1161 I think thatG1380 I tooG2504 haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
