1 Cor 7
6
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7 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.

10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
