1 Corinthians 7:6-9

New King James Version

⁶ But I say this as a concession, ^(A)not as a commandment. ⁷ For ^(B)I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

⁸ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: ^(C)It is good for them if they remain even as I am; ⁹ but ^(D)if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
