1 Corinthians 7:8 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

6 Je dis cela par condescendance, je n’en fais pas un ordre.

7 Je voudrais que tous les hommes fussent comme moi; mais chacun tient de Dieu un don particulier, l’un d’une manière, l’autre d’une autre.

8 A ceux qui ne sont pas mariés et aux veuves, je dis qu’il leur est bon de rester comme moi.

9 Mais s’ils manquent de continence, qu’ils se marient; car il vaut mieux se marier que de brûler.
