"But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God."
— 1 Corinthians 7:40-1964, Bible in Basic English
“But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. ”
“But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God. ”
“But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.”
“But in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains as she is– and I think that I too have the Spirit of God!”
“But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel. And I think that I also have the spirit of God. ”
“But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. ”
But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.
So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.
It is right for a wife to be with her husband as long as he is living; but when her husband is dead, she is free to be married to another; but only to a Christian.
But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.
