So thenbothhe who giveshis ownvirgin[daughter] in marriagedoeswell,and he who does not give her in marriagewill dobetter.
but I sayto you that everyonewho divorceshis wife,exceptfor [the] reasonof unchastity,makesher commit adultery;and whoevermarriesa divorcedwomancommits adultery.
I thinkthenthat thisis goodin viewof the presentdistress,that it is goodfor a manto remainas he is.
But he whostandsfirmin his heart,beingundernoconstraint,but hasauthorityoverhis ownwill,and has decidedthisin his ownheart,to keephis ownvirgin[daughter], he will dowell.
A wifeis boundas longas her husbandlives;but ifher husbandis dead,she is freeto be marriedto whomshe wishes,onlyin the Lord.
But I sayto the unmarriedand to widowsthat it is goodfor them ifthey remainevenas I.
Marriage[is to be held] in honoramongall,and the [marriage] bed[is to be] undefiled;for fornicatorsand adulterersGodwill judge.
