1 Corinthians 7:6

But this I say by way of concession, not of command.

I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.

What I am saying, I am not saying

as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
