Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
