1 Corinthians 7:6

⁶But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

⁶But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

⁶I say this as a concession, not as a command.

⁶I'm telling you this not as a command, but as a concession.

⁸I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

²⁵Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

¹²But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.

¹⁷That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
