1 Corinthians 7:39

39 A married woman must remain with her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but only if the man is a Christian.

1 Corinthians 7:39 In-Context

37 However, a father may have come to a decision about his daughter. If his decision is to keep her [at home] because she doesn't want to get married, that's fine.
38 So it's fine for a father to give his daughter in marriage, but the father who doesn't give his daughter in marriage does even better.
39 A married woman must remain with her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but only if the man is a Christian.
40 However, she will be more blessed if she stays as she is. That is my opinion, and I think that I, too, have God's Spirit.
