1 Corinthians 7:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ I would like everyone to be like me. However, each person has a special gift from God, and these gifts vary from person to person.

⁸ I say to those who are not married, especially to widows: It is good for you to stay single like me. ⁹ However, if you cannot control your desires, you should get married. It is better for you to marry than to burn ⌞with sexual desire⌟.
