1 Corinthians 7:39 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7
37 Mais celui qui a pris une ferme résolution, sans contrainte et avec l’exercice de sa propre volonté, et qui a décidé en son cœur de garder sa fille vierge, celui-là fait bien.
38 Ainsi, celui qui marie sa fille fait bien, et celui qui ne la marie pas fait mieux.
39 Une femme est liée aussi longtemps que son mari est vivant; mais si le mari meurt, elle est libre de se marier à qui elle veut; seulement, que ce soit dans le Seigneur.
40 Elle est plus heureuse, néanmoins, si elle demeure comme elle est, suivant mon avis. Et moi aussi, je crois avoir l’Esprit de Dieu.
