7. For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.
9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10. And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11. But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12. But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13. And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
