1 Concerning the things that you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch have sex with a woman.

2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3 Let the husband fulfill his marital duties to his wife and also the wife to her husband.

4 The wife has no authority over her own body, but her husband does. Likewise also the husband has no authority over his own body, but his wife does.

5 Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent for a time. That way you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. Then come together again, that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
