9 But if they cannot abstain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to [a]burn.
10 (A)[b]And unto the married I command, not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband.
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled unto her husband, and let not the husband put away his wife.
