7 I wish that all people were just like me. But each has his own gift from God, one person in this way and another in that way.
8 I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.
9 But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with desire.
10 I command the married — not I, but the Lord — a wife is not to leave her husband.
11 But if she does leave, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband — and a husband is not to leave his wife.
12 But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not leave her.
13 Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not leave her husband.
