1 Corinthians 7:8 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

6 Mas isto vos digo como permissão, não como mandamento.

7 Porque eu queria que todos fossem como eu mesmo; mas cada um tem seu próprio dom de Deus, um de um jeito assim, e outro de um jeito diferente.

8 Mas digo aos solteiros, e às viúvas que lhes é bom se permanecessem como eu estou.

9 Mas se não podem se conter, casem-se; porque é melhor se casar do que se inflamar.

10 Porém aos casados eu mando, não eu, mas o Senhor, que a mulher não se separe do marido.
