But I say this by concession, not by command.
But I command the ones being married (not I, but the Lord), a woman not to be separated from her husband;
But to the rest I say, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, let him not let her go.
But about the virgins, I have no command of the Lord. But I give judgment, as having received mercy by the Lord to be faithful.
But she is happier if she remains so, according to my judgment. And I think I also have the Spirit of God.
What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this boldness of boasting.
I do not speak according to command, but through the diligence of others and testing the trueness of your love.
