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
11 (Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.
