Matthew 19:10
Douay-Rheims
His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.
Jerome
But let none think, that wherein He adds, save they to whom it is given, that either fate or fortune is implied, as though they were virgins only whom chance has led to such a fortune. For that is given to those who have sought it of God, who have longed for it, who have striven that they might obtain it.
