36 if any man thinks it would be a reflexion upon his manhood to be a stale batchelor, and so ought to marry; let him follow his bent, he is at liberty, let such marry. 37 but he that has been steady in his purpose, and finds no necessity to alter it; if he is a master of his passion, and is heartily determin'd to keep his virginity, it is well. 38 so that he who marries, does well; but he who lives single, may have less trouble. 39 The wife is bound as long as her husband lives: but if her husbnd be dead, she is at liberty to be married, if she pleases; provided it be to a christian. 40 but she will be happier, if she remain a widow, in my opinion: and I think the divine spirit suggests the same. 1 Corinthians 7:36-40, Mace New Testament.
