1 Corinthians 7:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ I wish that all people were as I am. But each has his own gift^(A) from God, one person has this gift, another has that.

A Word to the Unmarried

⁸ I say to the unmarried^[a] and to widows:^(B) It is good for them if they remain as I am. ⁹ But if they do not have self-control,^(C) they should marry, since it is better to marry^(D) than to burn with desire.
