8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

10 To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband

11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
