38 So then he that giveth her to marriage, doeth well, but he that giveth her not to marriage, doeth [a]better.
39 [b]The wife is bound by the [c]law, as long as her husband (A)liveth: but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to marry with whom she will, only in the [d]Lord.
40 But she is more blessed, if she so abide in my judgment: (B)and I think that I have also the Spirit of God.
