1 Corinthians 7:36-38

Mace(i) 36 if any man thinks it would be a reflexion upon his manhood to be a stale batchelor, and so ought to marry; let him follow his bent, he is at liberty, let such marry. 37 but he that has been steady in his purpose, and finds no necessity to alter it; if he is a master of his passion, and is heartily determin'd to keep his virginity, it is well. 38 so that he who marries, does well; but he who lives single, may have less trouble.
