我對沒有結婚的人和寡婦說，如果他們能像我一樣保持現狀，對他們來說是好事。

實際上，由於現今的艱難，我認為一個人保持現狀是合宜的，這才是好的。你已經有妻子約束著，就不要尋求擺脫；你沒有妻子束縛著，就不要尋求妻子。

但如果一個人自己心裡堅定不移，也不出於勉強，又對自己的意願有主權，並且自己心裡已經決定留下自己的童貞女兒，那麼他就做得好。所以，那讓自己的童貞女兒結婚的，做得好；那沒有讓她結婚的，做得更好。

神藉著夢對他說：「是的，我知道你做這事心中純正，也是我攔阻了你，免得你對我犯罪；因此我沒有讓你碰她。

他的門徒們對耶穌說：「如果丈夫與妻子的關係是這樣，結婚就沒有益處了。」耶穌就對他們說：「這話不是所有人都能接受的，只有誰被賜予了，誰才能接受：

你看到僕人們在哪塊田裡收割，就隨著使女們去。要知道，我已吩咐了僕人們不可碰你。你口渴了，就去水缸那裡，喝僕人們打來的水。」

那與鄰人妻子同房的也是如此；所有碰她的，都難逃罪責。
