36 But if any man thinke that it is vncomely for his virgin if she passe the time of mariage, and neede so require, let him do what he wyll, he sinneth not: let them be maryed. 37 Neuerthelesse, he that purposeth surely in his heart hauing no neede, but hath power ouer his owne wyll, and hath so decreed in his heart that he wyl kepe his virgin, doth well. 38 So then he that ioyneth his virgin in maryage, doth well: but he that ioyneth not his virgin in mariage, doth better. 39 The wyfe is bounde to the lawe as long as her husbande lyueth: but if her husband be dead, she is at libertie to marry with whom she wil, onely in the Lorde. 40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my iudgement: And I thinke veryly that I haue the spirite of God. 1 Corinthians 7:36-40, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
