yet to avoid immorality every man should have his own wife and every woman her own husband. ... But if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry, since it is better to be married than to be burnt up. ... However, if you do get married, that is not a sin, and it is not sinful for a virgin to enter upon marriage. But such people will have the hardships consequent on human nature, and I would like you to be without that. (1 Corinthians 7:2,9,28 New Jerusalem Bible)

vv. 2, 9: trials of concupiscence [色慾] vv. 28: the upsets of married life
