1 Corinthians 7:2-6

English Standard Version

² But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. ^3 (A)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 (B)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, ^(C)so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

⁶ Now as a concession, ^(D)not a command, I say this.^[a]
