I wish therefore the younger women to marry, bear children, keep house, give no occasion of reproach to the enemy;

who forbid to marry, [command] to abstain from meat, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful and those who know the truth.

A woman is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead then she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
