King James Version with Apocrypha
"But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."
— 1 Corinthians 7:9, King James Version with Apocrypha
“But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.”
“But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. ”
“But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.”
“But if they do not have self-control, let them get married. For it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.”
“But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.”
“But if they have not self-control let them get married; for married life is better than the burning of desire.”
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
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.
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
