Εἰ δέ τις ἀσχημονεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν παρθένον αὐτοῦ νομίζει ἐὰν ᾖ ὑπέρακμος , καὶ οὕτως ὀφείλει γίνεσθαι , ὃ θέλει ποιείτω · οὐχ ἁμαρτάνει · γαμείτωσαν . ὃς δὲ ἕστηκεν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἑδραῖος μὴ ἔχων ἀνάγκην , ἐξουσίαν δὲ ἔχει περὶ τοῦ ἰδίου θελήματος , καὶ τοῦτο κέκρικεν ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ καρδίᾳ , τηρεῖν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ παρθένον , καλῶς ποιήσει · ὥστε καὶ ὁ γαμίζων τὴν παρθένον ἑαυτοῦ καλῶς ποιεῖ , καὶ ὁ μὴ γαμίζων κρεῖσσον ποιήσει . Γυνὴ δέδεται ἐφ’ ὅσον χρόνον ζῇ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς · ἐὰν δὲ κοιμηθῇ ὁ ἀνήρ , ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ᾧ θέλει γαμηθῆναι , μόνον ἐν κυρίῳ · μακαριωτέρα δέ ἐστιν ἐὰν οὕτως μείνῃ , κατὰ τὴν ἐμὴν γνώμην , δοκῶ δὲ κἀγὼ πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἔχειν .
