Matthew 19:10-12 ▼

10 [His] disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 He answered, “Not all can accept [this] word, but only those to whom that is granted.

12 Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”
