1 Corinthians 7:36-38

Williams(i) 36 Now if a father thinks that he is not doing the proper thing regarding his single daughter, if she is past the bloom of her youth, and she ought to do so, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin. Let the daughter and her suitor marry. 37 But the father who stands firm in his purpose, without having any necessity for doing so, and he has made the decision in his own heart to keep her single, will do what is right. 38 And so the man who gives his daughter in marriage does what is right, and yet the man who does not do so does even better.
