⁹ And he had four daughters, virgins, who were prophets.

¹⁷ And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

²⁰ But I have this against you, that you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching, making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food offered to false gods.

³⁶ And there was one, Anna, a woman prophet, the daughter of Phanuel, of the family of Asher (she was very old, and after seven years of married life

²⁰ And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.

⁴ Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

⁵ But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

¹⁴ Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me.

¹⁴ So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town;) and they had talk with her.

⁴ Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.

³⁸ So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.

²⁵ Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

²⁶ In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

²⁷ If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.

²⁸ If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.

²⁹ But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

³⁰ And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;

³¹ And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

³² But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

³³ But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

³⁴ And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

¹ Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.
