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

In context

6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

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

9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
