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

9 But if they have no self-control they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.

10 And to those who are married, I do not command but the Lord. The wife is not to separate from her husband.

11 But even if she separates, she shall remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.
