Kehillah in Corinth I 7:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ But, I wish kol Bnei Adam even to be as I am; however, [this is impossible since] each has his own matanah (gift) from Hashem: one this; and another that.

⁸ But, I say to the bochrim and the almanot (widows), it is beneficial for them if they remain as I am;

⁹ But if they do not have shlitah atzmi, let them marry. For better it is to marry than with Eish to be set ablaze.
