1 Corinthians 7:36-40

36Perhaps a man has agreed to marry a young woman. They may have decided to wait before they marry. But, as they grow older, the man may think differently. He may think that he needs to marry her. Then, he should do what he wants to do. It is good for them to marry. It is not wrong.

37But another man may not change his thoughts. He may be sure that he does not need to marry his young woman. If he decides not to marry her, he is doing the right thing.

38So the man who marries his young woman is doing a good thing. But the man who does not marry is doing a better thing.

39If a woman has married, she may not leave her husband while he still lives. But if he dies, then she is free to marry again. She may marry any man that she wants to. But he must be someone who belongs to the Lord.

40I do think that she would be happier if she remains without a husband. That is what I think, and God's Spirit also helps me with this.
