8 But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do.

9 Yet, if they persevere not, they should marry; for it is better to take a wife than to burn with concupiscence.

10 But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not.

11 Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife.
