1 Corinthians 7:36-38

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁶ But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.

³⁷ For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.

³⁸ Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.
