Selah · Bible verse
1 Corinthians 7:8
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
In context
6But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn.
10But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
