1 Corinthians 7:9
King James VersionSource notes
“But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.”
Context
6But I speak this by permission, not of commandment.
7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10And unto the married I command, not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from husband:
11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to husband: and let not the husband put away wife.
12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
