4 and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. 5 But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand.

1 Corinthians 7:25-28

The Unmarried and the Widowed

25 Now concerning ^{▼▼The expression Now concerning introduces a reply to a question in the Corinthians’ letter; see 7:1} the betrothed, ^{▼▼Greek virgins} ^fI have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as ^gone who by the Lord’s mercy is ^htrustworthy. 26 I think that in view of the present ^{▼▼Or impending} distress ^jit is good for a person to remain as he is. 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman ^{▼▼Greek virgin; also verse 34} marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.
