For consider your calling, brothers, that not many [were] wise according to human standards, not many [were] powerful, not many [were] well born.

But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has authority concerning his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.

So then, the one who marries his own virgin does well, and the one who does not marry [her] will do better.

For indeed you are giving thanks well, but the other person is not edified.
