1 Corinthians 7:37

Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

Nevertheless {G1161} he {G3739} that standeth {G2476} stedfast {G1476} in {G1722} his heart {G2588}, having {G2192} no {G3361} necessity {G318}, but {G1161} hath {G2192} power {G1849} over {G4012} his own {G2398} will {G2307}, and {G2532} hath {G2919} so {G5124} decreed {G2919} in {G1722} his {G846} heart {G2588} that he will keep {G5083} his {G1438} virgin {G3933}, doeth {G4160} well {G2573}.

But if a man has firmly made up his mind, being under no compulsion but having complete control over his will, if he has decided within himself to keep his fiancée a virgin, he will be doing well.

But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.

But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, shall do well.
