1 Corinthians 7:36-38

Haweis(i) 36 But if a person supposes it would be unseemly for a virgin of his if she should pass the flower of her age [in celibacy], and that duty directs it should be so, let him do as he is inclined, he doth not sin: let such marry. 37 But he that is stedfast in his heart, not having any necessity, but retaineth power over his own inclination, and hath determined this in his heart that he will preserve his own virgin state, doeth well. 38 Wherefore though he who giveth in marriage doeth well, yet he who avoids a matrimonial connection, doeth better.
