Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

Wenn einer aber sich fest vornimmt, weil er ungezwungen ist und seinen freien Willen hat, und beschließt solches in seinem Herzen, seine Jungfrau also bleiben zu lassen, der tut wohl.
Pero el que está firme en su corazón, y no tiene necesidad, sino que tiene libertad de su voluntad, y determinó en su corazón esto, el guardar su hija virgen, bien hace.
En cambio, el que se mantiene firme en su corazón, sin estar bajo necesidad y con autoridad sobre su propia voluntad, y ha resuelto en su corazón conservar a su hija virgen, hará bien.
Mais celui qui a pris une ferme résolution, sans contrainte et avec l'exercice de sa propre volonté, et qui a décidé en son coeur de garder sa fille vierge, celui-là fait bien.
Ma chi sta fermo nel suo cuore, e non ha necessità, ed è padrone della sua volontà, ed ha determinato questo nel cuor suo, di guardar la sua vergine, fa bene.
Todavia o que está firme em seu coração, não tendo necessidade, mas com poder sobre a sua própria vontade, se resolveu no seu coração guardar a sua virgem, faz bem.
倘若有人心裏堅定,沒有不得已的事,並且由得自己作主,心裏又決定了不讓女兒結婚 ,這樣做也好。
