1 Corinthians 7:7-9

New American Standard Bible

^7 [a]Yet I wish that all ^[b]men were ^(A)even as I myself am. However, ^(B)each has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another in that.

⁸ But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is ^(C)good for them if they remain ^(D)even as I. ⁹ But if they do not have self-control, ^(E)let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
