- 若有人以为自己待他的女儿不合宜,女儿也过了年岁,事又当行,他就可随意办理,不算有罪,叫二人成亲就是了。
- 倘若人心里坚定,没有不得己的事,并且由得自己作主,心里又决定了留下女儿不出嫁,如此行也好。
- 这样看来,叫自己的女儿出嫁是好。不叫他出嫁更好。
- 丈夫活着的时候,妻子是被约束的。丈夫若死了,妻子就可以自由,随意再嫁。只是要嫁这在主里面的人。
- 然而按我的意见,若常守节更有福气。我也想自己是被神的灵感动了。

- If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married.
- But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin--this man also does the right thing.
- So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does even better.
- A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
- In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is--and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
