36 But if anyone thinks it uncomely regarding his daughter, if she passes the bloom of life, and need so requires, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.
37 Nevertheless, he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has liberty regarding his own, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his daughter, does well.
38 So then he that gives her in marriage does well, but he that does not give her in marriage does better.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free and may be married to whom she will, if it is in the Lord.
40 But she shall be more blessed if she so abides, after my counsel, and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
