1 Corinthians 7:7 in context

  1. 5Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
  2. 6But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
  3. 7Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
  4. 8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
  5. 9But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn.
