1 Corinthians 7:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.

⁸ But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.

⁹ But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.
