Matthew 19:10

The disciples said to him, "If that is a man's position with his wife, there is no good in marrying."

Now about the questions in your letter. It is an excellent thing for a man to have no intercourse with a woman;

To the unmarried and to widows I would say this: it is an excellent thing if like me they remain as they are.

Well, what I think is this: that, considering the imminent distress in these days, it would be an excellent plan for you to remain just as you are.

I want you to be free from all anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the Lord's affairs, how best to satisfy the Lord;

A woman is bound to her husband during his lifetime; but if he dies, she is free to marry anyone she pleases ??only, it must be a Christian.

Refuse to put young widows on the list, for when their wanton desires alienate them from Christ, they want to marry
