11. Jesus answered, “This teaching does not apply to everyone, but only to those to whom God has given it.

12. For there are different reasons why men cannot marry: some, because they were born that way; others, because men made them that way; and others do not marry for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Let him who can accept this teaching do so.”
