'Refrains' in the Bible
The one who observes a special day, observes it to honor the Lord. The one who eats, eats to honor the Lord, since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, refrains from eating to honor the Lord; yet he, too, gives thanks to God.
So then the man who marries the virgin acts appropriately, but the man who refrains from marriage does even better.
