Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.
