ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૭:૩૮
એટલે જેની સાથે તેણે સગાઈ કરેલ છે તેની સાથે જે લગ્ન કરે છે તે સારું કરે છે, અને જે તેની સાથે લગ્ન ન કરવાનું પસંદ કરે છે તે વધારે સારો નિર્ણય કરે છે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ७:३८
तो जो अपनी कुँवारी का विवाह कर देता है, वह अच्छा करता है और जो विवाह नहीं कर देता, वह और भी अच्छा करता है।

In context

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.

40But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
