But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, shall do well.

But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

Οστις ομως στεκει στερεος εν τη καρδια, μη εχων αναγκην, εχει ομως εξουσιαν περι του ιδιου αυτου θεληματος, και απεφασισε τουτο εν τη καρδια αυτου, να φυλαττη την εαυτου παρθενον, πραττει καλως.

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.
