38 So then he that giveth her to marriage, doeth well, but he that giveth her not to marriage, doeth [51]better.

39 [52]The wife is bound by the [53]law, as long as her husband ⓔliveth: but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to marry with whom she will, only in the [54]Lord.

40 But she is more blessed, if she so abide in my judgment: ⓕand I think that I have also the Spirit of God.
