8 But to the unmarried, and the widows, I say that it is well for them to remain as I am.

9 If, however, they are not exercising self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.

10 But to those already married my commandment is - and not mine, but the Lords - that a wife is not to leave her husband;

11 (or if she has already left him let her either remain as she is, or be reconciled to him), and also that a husband is not to put away his wife.
