Disciples’ Literal New Testament
7 And I wish that all people were as[a] indeed myself! But each has his own gift from God— one in this manner and another in this manner. 8 And I say to the unmarried and the widows— it is good for them if they remain as I also am. 9 But if they do not have-self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burning[b].
