1 Corinthians 7:1-7

Principles for Marriage

[1] Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: [t]“It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” [2] But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. [3] [u]The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. [4] For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. [5] [v]Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, [w]so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. [6] Now as a concession, [x]not a command, I say this.(1) [7] [y]I wish that all were [z]as I myself am. But [a]each has his own gift from God, [b]one of one kind and one of another.
