But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૭:૩૭
પણ જો તે લગ્ન ન કરવાનો નિર્ણય કરે છે, તેને કોઈ મજબુરી ન હોય અને તે પોતાના આવેગ પર અંકુશ રાખી શકે તેમ હોય તો સારું થશે કે તે તેની સાથે લગ્ન ન કરે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ७:३७
परन्तु यदि वह मन में फैसला करता है, और कोई अत्यावश्यकता नहीं है, और वह अपनी अभिलाषाओं को नियंत्रित कर सकता है, तो वह विवाह न करके अच्छा करता है।

In context

35This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

36But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.

37But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.

38So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.

39A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
