To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do.
I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord;
I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.
Now concerning the matters about which you wrote. It is well for a man not to touch a woman.
Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
