1 Corinthians 7:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ But I say this as a concession, not as a command. ⁷ I would like everyone to be unmarried,^[a] like I am. However, each person has a special gift from God, one this and another that.

⁸ I say to those who are unmarried, especially to widows: It is good for them to remain like me.
