1 Corinthians 7:9 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7
7 Quisiera más bien que todos los hombres fuesen como yo: empero cada uno tiene su propio don de Dios; uno á la verdad así, y otro así.
8 Digo pues á los solteros y á las viudas, que bueno les es si se quedaren como yo.
9 Y si no tienen don de continencia, cásense; que mejor es casarse que quemarse.
10 Mas á los que están juntos en matrimonio, denuncio, no yo, sino el Señor: Que la mujer no se aparte del marido;
11 Y si se apartare, que se quede sin casar, ó reconcíliese con su marido; y que el marido no despida á su mujer.
