But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.
Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
