Acts 21:9
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did (c) prophesy.
(c) They had a peculiar gift of foretelling things to come. |
- virgins:
1 Corinthians 7:25-34 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. ... There is difference [also] between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please [her] husband.
1 Corinthians 7:38 So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.
