1 Corinthians 7:34-36

Amplified Bible

³⁴ and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or the virgin is concerned about the matters of the Lord, how to be holy and set apart both in body and in spirit; but a married woman is concerned about worldly things, how she may please her husband. ³⁵ Now I say this for your own benefit; not to restrict you, but to promote what is appropriate and secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

³⁶ But if any man thinks that he is not acting properly and honorably toward his virgin daughter, [^[a]by not permitting her to marry], if she is ^[b]past her youth, and it must be so, let him do as he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.
