ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૭:૯
પણ જો તેઓ પોતે સંયમ ન રાખી શકે તો તેઓને લગ્ન કરવાની છૂટ છે. કેમ કે બળવા કરતાં લગ્ન કરવું એ સારું છે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ७:९
परन्तु यदि वे संयम न कर सके, तो विवाह करें; क्योंकि विवाह करना कामातुर रहने से भला है।

In context

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.

9But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

10But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband

11(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
