| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 7 I wish everyone could get along without marrying, just as I do. But we are not all the same. God gives some the gift of marriage, and to others he gives the gift of singleness. | 7 I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. |
