1 Corinthians 7:37-39

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁷ For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.

³⁸ Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.

³⁹ A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
