1 Corinthians 7:7-9

7I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8Now to the unmarried Or widowers and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.

9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
