1 Corinthians 7:8 BBE

⁶  But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord.

⁷  It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

⁸  But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them to be even as I am.

⁹  But if they have not self-control let them get married; for married life is better than the burning of desire.

¹⁰  But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband
