1 Corinthians 7:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 [a](A)Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and [b]come together again so that (B)Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 But this I say by way of concession, (C)not of command. 7 [c]Yet I wish that all [d]men were (D)even as I myself am. However, (E)each has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another in that.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is (F)good for them if they remain (G)even as I. 9 But if they do not have self-control, (H)let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
