But I speak this according to permission, not according to commandment.
And to the married I command (not I, but the Lord), a woman not to be separated from her husband.
But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away.
But concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord. Yet I give my judgment, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.
But she is happier if she so remains, according to my judgment. And I also think that I have the Spirit of God.
What I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this boldness of boasting.
I do not speak according to command, but through the eagerness of others, and testing the trueness of your love.
