1 Corinthians 7:36-38

36But if anyone thinks that he is acting dishonorably toward his virgin, if she is 1past her youth and it ought to be so, let him do what he wishes, he is not sinning; let 2them marry. 37But the one who stands firm in his heart, 3if he is not under constraint, but has authority 4over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well. 38So then, both the one who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and the one who does not give her in marriage will do better.
