1 Corinthians 7:38 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

36 Mas se alguém lhe parece que indecentemente trata com sua virgem, se ela passar da idade da juventude, e assim convier se fazer, que tal faça o que quiser, não peca, casem-se.

37 Porém o que está firme em [seu] coração, não tendo necessidade, mas tem poder sobre sua própria vontade, e isto decidiu em seu próprio coração, de guardar sua virgem, faz bem.

38 Portanto, o que [a dá] em casamento, faz bem; mas o que não a dá em casamento, faz melhor.

39 A mulher casada está ligada pela Lei todo o tempo em que seu marido vive; mas se seu marido morrer, fica livre para se casar com quem quiser, contanto [que seja] no Senhor.
