1I asked him again, saying, “Sir, since you for once endure me explain this also to me.” “Say on,” said he. “If, sir,” said I, “a wife, or on the other hand a husband, die, and the survivor marry, does the one who marries commit sin?” 2“He does not sin,” said he, “but if he remain single he gains for himself more exceeding honour and great glory with the Lord, but even if he marry he does not sin. 3Preserve therefore purity and holiness, and you shall live to God. Keep from henceforth, from the day on which you were handed over to me, these things which I tell you and shall tell you, and I will dwell in your house. 4And for your former transgression there shall be remission if you keep my commandments, and all men shall obtain a remission, if they keep these commandments of mine and walk in this purity.”
