“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.

Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’

…to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.

He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.

Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.

But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

…and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.

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.

So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
