8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they stay unmarried like me.

9 But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. It is better to marry than to be inflamed with lust.

10 To the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord commands do not let the wife depart from her husband.

11 If she leaves, let her remain unmarried or become reconciled to her husband. A husband should not divorce his wife.
