1 Corinthians 7:2

Principles of Marriage

1 Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: ^aIt is good for a man not to touch a woman.

2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

3 ^aLet the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

5 ^aDo not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that ^bSatan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

6 But I say this as a concession, ^anot as a commandment.

7 For ^aI wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
