First letter to the Corinthians 7:39

A wife is bound as long as her husband lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she wishes, as long as it is in the Lord. The expression "in the Lord" means that she marries a believing man, see 2 Cor. 6:14. Later in 1 Tim 5:9–13, he encourages younger widows to remarry.
