Matthew 19:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ Jesus' disciples said to him, ‘You say that this is what it is like for a man and his wife. Then maybe it is better if people do not marry.’

¹¹ Jesus replied, ‘Not everyone can agree with this idea. But God has helped some people to agree with it. ¹² There are several different reasons why a person may not marry. Some men cannot have sex. They were born like that. Some other people cannot have sex because people did something to them. Some people choose not to have sex. They do not marry because then they can work better for God and his kingdom. Anyone who can agree with this idea should do it.’
