7:8a Now to the unmarried and widows I say this:

Now I will talk to those of you who are unmarried, including widows.
-or-
Now, ⌊you also asked me about⌋ believers who are not married, and about widows. So I will tell you what I think they should do.

7:8b It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.

It is good for them/you to stay alone/single/celibate, as I am.
-or-
I recommend that you do not get married again. Stay alone/single, just as I do.
