11 But he said to them, ^a“Not everyone can receive this saying, but only ^bthose to ^cwhom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs ^dfor the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

7 ^yI wish that all were ^zas I myself am. But ^aeach has his own gift from God, ^bone of one kind and one of another.

38 So then he who marries his betrothed ^hdoes well, and he who refrains from marriage will do even better.
