As concerning virgins / I have no commandment §Eof the lord: yet give I counsel / as one that hath obtained mercy of the lord to be faithful. I suppose that it is good for the present *necessity. For it is good for a man so to be. Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. But and if thou take a wife thou sinnest not. Likewise if a virgin marry / she sinneth not. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in their flesh: but I favour you.
