1 Corinthians 7:7-10
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 7

7Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another in that.
8But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. 9But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife is not to leave her husband
King James Version

Chapter 7

7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 7

7I wish that all people were as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one person has this gift, another has that.
8I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am. 9But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire.
10To the married I give this command —not I, but the Lord—a wife is not to leave her husband.
New Living Translation

Chapter 7

7But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.
8So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows — it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. 9But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.
10But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband.
English Standard Version

Chapter 7

7I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.

10To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband
New International Version

Chapter 7

7I 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.
8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. 9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
