'Better' in the Bible

But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn [with sexual desire].

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

But I have not made use of any of these [rights]. And I am not writing these [things] in order that it may be thus with me. For [it would be] better to me rather to die than [for] anyone to deprive me of my reason for boasting.

But in giving this instruction I do not praise [you], because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
