1 Corinthians 7:7-9

7But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.

8So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am.

9But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.
