1 Corinthians 7:35-37
New American Standard Bible
35 I say this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but [a]to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.
36 But if anyone thinks that he is acting dishonorably toward his virgin, if she is [b]past her youth and it ought to be so, let him do what he wishes, he is not sinning; let [c]them marry. 37 But the one who stands firm in his heart, [d]if he is not under constraint, but has authority [e]over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.
