1 Corinthians 7:1, 7-8

Now I will discuss the things you wrote me about. It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.

I wish that everyone were like me, but each person has his own gift from God. One has one gift, another has another gift. Now for those who are not married and for the widows I say this: It is good for them to stay unmarried as I am.
