1 Cor. 7:25‑34,38• 25Now concerning virgins command of [the] Lord have I none, but I give an opinion as having received mercy of [the] Lord to be faithful.
 26I think then that this is good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man to be so.
 27Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
 28But if even thou shouldest have married, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin should have married, she did not sin. But such shall have tribulation in the flesh: but I am sparing you.
 29But this I say, brethren, the season is straitened: henceforth that both those that have wives be as having none,
 30and those that weep as weeping not, and those that rejoice as rejoicing not, and those that buy as possessing not,
 31and those that use the world as not using [it] for themselves; for the fashion of the world passeth away.
 32But I would have you to be without care. The unmarried careth for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
 33but he that hath married careth for the things of the world how he shall please his wife.
 34Divided also is both the wife and the virgin: the unmarried careth for the things of the Lord that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; but she that hath married careth for the things of the world how she shall please her husband.
 38So that he that marrieth doeth well, and he that marrieth not shall do better. (1 Cor. 7:25‑34,38)

Rev. 2:20• 20But I have against thee that thou lettest alone the woman Jezebel that calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and deceiveth my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. (Rev. 2:20)
• Such prophesying was yet more than teaching or preaching. We cannot doubt, therefore, that they used their gift on the one hand; and on the other that it was forbidden to use it in the assembly. (“Acts 21:8-14” by W. Kelly)
• But these maiden daughters of Philip did prophesy, if not in the assembly, somewhere else. Decorum would have forbidden it still more in public, if God’s order prohibited it for the assembly. No place can be conceived more suitable than one’s father’s house. (“Acts 21:8-14” by W. Kelly)
