New American Standard Bible 1995

1 Corinthians 7:6-9

6But this I say by way of concession, 1not of command. 7 2Yet I wish that all men were 3even as I myself am. However, 4each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

8But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is 5good for them if they remain 6even as I. 9But if they do not have self-control, 7let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
