ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૭:૬
પણ હું આ વાત તમને આજ્ઞા તરીકે નહિ પણ મરજિયાત રીતે કહું છું.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ७:६
परन्तु मैं जो यह कहता हूँ वह अनुमति है न कि आज्ञा।

In context

4The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

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.

6But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

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.

8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
