New Testament

1 Corinthians 7:37-39 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

37. But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin – this man also does the right thing.

38. So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.

39. A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
