Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 But, because of sexual sins, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render to the wife her due, and likewise also the wife to the husband.
4 The wife doesn`t have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn`t have power over his own body, but the wife.
5 Don`t defraud one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn`t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
