8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that ver. 1, 26it is good for them to remain single, ver. 7as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, [1 Tim. 5:14]they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 To the married See ver. 6I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): Mal. 2:16;See Matt. 5:32the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does, Mark 10:12she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and [See ver. 10above]the husband should not divorce his wife.
