1 Corinthians 7:8
King James Version
“I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.”
Context
5Defraud ye not one the other, except with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
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.
