1 Corinthians 7:38-40

Good News Translation

³⁸ So the man who marries^[a] does well, but the one who doesn't marry^[b] does even better.

³⁹ A married woman is not free as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, then she is free to be married to any man she wishes, but only if he is a Christian. ⁴⁰ She will be happier, however, if she stays as she is. That is my opinion, and I think that I too have God's Spirit.
