1 Corinthians 7:8

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.

In context

6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.

7 I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

8 Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.

9 But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
