1 Corinthians 7:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ For I would that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one after this manner and another after that.

⁸ I say, therefore, to the unmarried men and widowers, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

⁹ But if they do not have the gift of continence, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.
