1 Corinthians 7:39-40

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁴⁰ But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
