35 And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.
36 But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his1 virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry.
37 Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his1 virgin, does well.
38 aSo then he who gives1 her in marriage does well, but he who does not give her in marriage does better.
39 aA wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, bonly in the Lord.
