1 Corinthians 7:38-40
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
38 So also then, he [the father] who gives his virgin (his daughter) in marriage does well, and he [the father] who does not give [her] in marriage does better.
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.
