1 Corinthians 7:38-40
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

39 A wife is bound to her husband by law as long as he lives. If the husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she will, only [provided that he too is] in the Lord.
40 But in my opinion [a widow] is happier (more blessed and [a]to be envied) if she does not remarry. And also I think I have the Spirit of God.
