1 Corinthians 7:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain unmarried as I am.^{(A) 9} But if they are not practicing self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.^(B)

¹⁰ To the married I give this command—not I but the Lord—that the wife should not separate from her husband^(C)
