But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

EXPLANATION

Verse 9. If they do not contain. This is spoken of such as are free; and not of such as by vow have given their first faith to God; to whom, if they will use proper means to obtain it, God will never refuse the gift of continency. Some translators have corrupted this text, by rendering it, if they cannot contain. Challoner.
