Marriage, Abstinence, and Mutual Duty

1 Corinthians 7:1-7

And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good it is for a man not to touch a woman,

and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;

the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;

and this I say by way of concurrence--not of command,

for I wish all men to be even as I myself am ; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.
