1 Corinthians 7:38-40

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁸ So then, he who gives her to marriage, does well. But he who does not give her to marriage, does better.

³⁹ The wife is bound by the law, as long as her husband lives. But if her husband is dead, she is free to marry whomever she wishes, only in the Lord.

⁴⁰ But she is more blessed if she so remains, in my judgment. And I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
