8. And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];
9. and if they have not continence--let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
10. and to the married I announce--not I, but the Lord--let not a wife separate from a husband:
11. but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.
