1 Now concerning what you wrote to me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.

2 But, because of the fornications, let each have his [own] wife, and let each have her own husband.

3 Let the husband give to the wife proper kindness, and likewise the wife also to the husband.

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

5 Do not deprive one another, unless [it is] with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence.
