1 Corinthians 7:39–40 A married woman must remain with her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but only if the man is a Christian.However, she will be more blessed if she stays as she is. That is my opinion, and I think that I, too, have God’s Spirit.
Marriage is for life, and is ended by the death of one of the partners (7:39–40). Paul says Christian widows are free to marry—but they should only marry a fellow Christian. His own judgment is that widows will find more happiness in the undivided life of being single.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND RECEIVED FROM THIS QUICK REFRESHER.

Romans 6:11–14 So consider yourselves dead to sin’s power but living for God in the power Christ Jesus gives you. Therefore, never let sin rule your physical body so that you obey its desires. Never offer any part of your body to sin’s power. No part of your body should ever be used to do any ungodly thing. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have come back from death and are now alive. Offer all the parts of your body to God. Use them to do everything that God approves of. Certainly, sin shouldn’t have power over you because you’re not controlled by God’s laws, but by God’s favor.
2 Timothy 2:22 Stay away from lusts which tempt young people. Pursue what has God’s approval. Pursue faith, love, and peace together with those who worship the Lord with a pure heart.
1 John 3:18 Dear children, we must show love through actions that are sincere, not through empty words.
ALLOW THIS WORD OF GOD TO BE A GUIDE UNTO YOUR LIFE. LET US LIVE THE NEW LIFE THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH.

Your lives will then bring glory and praise to God.
DON’T ALLOW YOUR CORRUPT NATURE TO CONTROL YOU, ALLOW YOUR SPIRITUAL NATURE TO CONTROL YOU.
