But if anyone thinks that he is acting dishonorably toward his virgin, if she is past her youth and it ought to be so, let him do what he wishes, he is not sinning; let them marry.

But the one who stands firm in his heart, if he is not under constraint, but has authority over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.

So then, both the one who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and the one who does not give her in marriage will do better.

A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

But in my opinion she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

그러므로 만일 누가 자기의 약혼녀에 대한 행동이 합당하지 못한 줄로 생각할 때에 그 약혼녀의 혼기도 지나고 그같이 할 필요가 있거든 원하는 대로 하라 그것은 죄 짓는 것이 아니니 그들로 결혼하게 하라

But if anyone thinks that he is acting dishonorably toward his virgin, if she is past her youth and it ought to be so, let him do what he wishes, he is not sinning; let them marry.

그러나 그가 마음을 정하고 또 부득이한 일도 없고 자기 뜻대로 할 권리가 있어서 그 약혼녀를 그대로 두기로 하여도 잘하는 것이니라

But the one who stands firm in his heart, if he is not under constraint, but has authority over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.

그러므로 결혼하는 자도 잘하거니와 결혼하지 아니하는 자는 더 잘하는 것이니라

So then, both the one who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and the one who does not give her in marriage will do better.

아내는 그 남편이 살아 있는 동안에 매여 있다가 남편이 죽으면 자유로워 자기 뜻대로 시집 갈 것이나 주 안에서만 할 것이니라

A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

그러나 내 뜻에는 그냥 지내는 것이 더욱 복이 있으리로다 나도 또한 하나님의 영을 받은 줄로 생각하노라

But in my opinion she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
