1 Corinthians 7:39-40 A wife is bound i.e., to stay married for as long as her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to anyone she wants; but it must be only in the Lord i.e., he must be a faithful Christian.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁹ A wife is bound [i.e., to stay married] for as long as her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to anyone she wants; [but it must be] only in the Lord [i.e., he must be a faithful Christian]. ⁴⁰ But she will be happier if she remains as she is [i.e., single]. This is my advice and I think that I, too, have God’s Holy Spirit.
