8And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am;
8And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am;
5 Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;
6 and this I say by way of concurrence — not of command,
7 for I wish all men to be even as I myself am; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.
8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am;
9 and if they have not continence — let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
10 and to the married I announce — not I, but the Lord — let not a wife separate from a husband:
7:8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
7:8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am.
7:8But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.
7:8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
7:8But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.
7:8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
7:8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.
7:8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
7:8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
