8 Here is what I say to those who are not married and to those whose husbands are dead. It is good for them to stay the way I am.

9 But if they cannot keep themselves under control, then they should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with desire for sex.

10 And here is what I say to those who are married. (And yet it is not what I say. It is what the Lord has said.) The wife may not leave her husband.

11 But if she does leave him, she must not marry again, or she must come back to her husband again. And the husband may not send away his wife.
