GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Virgin
See also Mary, Mother of Jesus

A man or woman of marriageable age who has never had sexual intercourse. In the scriptures, a virgin may represent someone who is morally clean (Rev. 14: 4).

A virgin shall conceive and bear a son, Isa. 7: 14 (Matt. 1: 23; 2 Ne. 17: 14). The kingdom of heaven is likened unto ten virgins, Matt. 25: 1-13. In the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, who was the mother of the Son of God, 1 Ne. 11: 13-18. Mary was a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, Alma 7: 10.
