1 Corinthians 7:5-9

5Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6I say this as a concession, not as a command.

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.
