8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do.

9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.

10 To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband

11 (but if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband)--and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
