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.
40 But she is happier if she remains as she is, aaccording to my judgment—and bI think I also have the Spirit of God.
