1 Corinthians 7:37-40

37But he whoG3739 standsG2476 firmG1476 in his heartG2588, 1beingG2192 underG2192 noG3361 constraintG318, but hasG2192 authorityG1849 2overG4012 his ownG2398 willG2307, and has decidedG2919 thisG3778 in his ownG2398 heartG2588, to keepG5083 his ownG1438 virginG3933 daughter, he will doG4160 wellG2573. 38SoG5620 thenG5620 bothG2532 he who givesG1061 his ownG1438 virginG3933 daughter in marriageG1061 doesG4160 wellG2573, and he who does not giveG1061 her in marriageG1061 will doG4160 betterG2909.

393A wifeG1135 is boundG1210 as longG5550 as her husbandG435 livesG2198; but ifG1437 her husbandG435 4is deadG2837, she is freeG1658 to be marriedG1060 to whomG3739 she wishesG2309, onlyG3440 5in the LordG2962. 40But 6in my opinionG1106 she is happierG3107 ifG1437 she remainsG3306 as she is; and I thinkG1380 that I alsoG2532 haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
