But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.

Now concerning virgins: I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy [has made] trustworthy.

I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.

What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
