1 Corinthians 7:9-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
9 But if they do not have-self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burning[a].
But Do Not Divorce Your Christian Spouse
10 But to the ones having married I command (not I, but the Lord), that a wife not be separated from her husband— 11 but if indeed she is separated, let her remain unmarried or let her be reconciled to her husband— and that a husband not leave[b] his wife.

9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry,(A) for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
