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.
