| I Corinthians 7:9 | But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. | If they do not contain. This is spoken of such as are free; and not of such as by vow have given their first faith to God; to whom, if they will use proper means to obtain it, God will never refuse the gift of continency. Some translators have corrupted this text, by rendering it, if they cannot contain. (Challoner) |
