But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
