1 Corinthians 7:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ This I say by way of concession, not of command. ⁷ I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has a particular gift from God, one having one kind and another a different kind.

⁸ To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain unmarried as I am.
