1 Corinthians 7:6-8

American Standard Version

⁶ But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment. ^7 [a]Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

⁸ But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
