1 Corinthians 7:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ Now for those who are not married and for the widows I say this: It is good for them to stay unmarried as I am. ⁹ But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.

¹⁰ Now I give this command for the married people. (The command is not from me; it is from the Lord.) A wife should not leave her husband.
