1 Corinthians 7:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ For I would that all were still as I myself. But everyone has his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

⁸ Therefore I say to the unmarried, and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain just as I.

⁹ But if they cannot abstain, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn.
