1 Corinthians 7:9 Context
7For I would that all men were euen as I my selfe: but euery man hath his proper gift of God, one after this maner, and another after that. 8I say therefore to the vnmaried and widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I. 9But if they cannot conteine, let them marry: for it is better to marrie then to burne. 10And vnto the married, I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if shee depart, let her remaine vnmaried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
