1 Corinthians 7:6-9

New American Standard Bible

⁶ But this I say by way of concession, ^(A)not of command. ^7 [a]Yet I wish that all ^[b]men were ^(B)even as I myself am. However, ^(C)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 ^(D)good for them if they remain ^(E)even as I. ⁹ But if they do not have self-control, ^(F)let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
