1 Corinthians 7:7-9

7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.

9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

1 Corinthians 7:27

27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife.
