ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૭:૩૯
પત્ની જ્યાં સુધી તેનો પતિ જીવે છે, ત્યાં સુધી નિયમથી બંધાયેલી છે; પણ જો તેનો પતિ મૃત્યુ પામ્યો હોય, તો જેને તે ઇચ્છે છે તે વિશ્વાસીની સાથે લગ્ન કરવાને તે સ્વતંત્ર છે, પણ ફક્ત પ્રભુમાં.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ७:३९
जब तक किसी स्त्री का पति जीवित रहता है, तब तक वह उससे बंधी हुई है, परन्तु जब उसका पति मर जाए, तो जिससे चाहे विवाह कर सकती है, परन्तु केवल प्रभु में।

In context

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.
