1 Corinthians 7:39: "A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord." The last part of that verse refers to 2 Corinthians 6:14. That section in 2 Corinthians 6 mentions "unequally yoked." I am sure that it is talking about leaving the belief in the resurrection of Christ, which Paul was teaching about. It is not talking about a widow marrying. Look at Romans 7:2,3: "For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress, but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man."
