1 Corinthians 7:32

1 Corinthians 7:34

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
1 Corinthians 7:38
So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
1 Corinthians 7:40
But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
