1 Corinthians 7:36-38

Lexham English Bible

³⁶ But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime^[a] and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry. ³⁷ But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has authority concerning his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well. ³⁸ So then, the one who marries^[b] his own virgin does well, and the one who does not marry her will do better.
