1 Corinthians 7:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ For^[a] I wish all people were like me, but each person has his own gift from God. One person is blessed in this way, another in a different way.

⁸ I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain as I am. ⁹ But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, because it is better to marry than to burn with desire.
