1 Corinthians 7:38-40

Christian Standard Bible

Footnotes

1. 7:36–38 Or ³⁶ If any man thinks he is acting improperly toward his virgin daughter, if she is getting beyond the usual age for marriage, and he feels she should marry—he can do what he wants. He is not sinning; she can get married. ³⁷ But he who stands firm in his heart (who is under no compulsion, but has control over his own will) and has decided in his heart to keep his own virgin daughter will do well. ³⁸ So then he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, but he who does not give his own virgin daughter in marriage will do better.
