But I say to the unmarried men, and to the widows, it is good for them if they also remain as I.
But concerning what you wrote to me, it is good for a man not to touch a woman;
But I desire you to be without care. The unmarried one cares for the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord;
But I desire all men also to be as myself. But each one has his own gift from God, thus and thus.
Have we not authority to lead about a sister, a wife, as do the rest of the apostles also, and Cephas, and the Lord’s brothers?
