1 Corinthians 7:38-40

New King James Version

^38 (A)So then he who gives ^[a]her in marriage does well, but he who does not give her in marriage does better.

^39 (B)A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, ^(C)only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is happier if she remains as she is, ^(D)according to my judgment—and ^(E)I think I also have the Spirit of God.
