1 Corinthians 7:38-40
International Standard Version
38 So then the man who marries the virgin acts appropriately, but the man who refrains from marriage does even better.
39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, only in the Lord. 40 However, in my opinion she will be happier[a] if she stays as she is. And in saying this,[b] I think that I, too, have God’s Spirit.
