1 Corinthians 7:6-8
Wycliffe Bible
6 But I say this thing as giving leave, not by commandment.[a]
7 For I will, that all men be as myself. But each man hath his proper gift of God; one thus, and another thus.
8 But I say to them, that be not wedded, and to widows [and widows], it is good to them, if they dwell so as I.
