1 Corinthians 7:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]The wife hath not the power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not the power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud not one another, [b]except it be with consent for a time, that ye may [c]give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and again come together, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6 [d]But I speak this by permission, not by commandment.

- 1 Corinthians 7:5 He addeth an exception: unless the one abstain from the other by mutual consent, that they may the better give themselves to prayer, wherein notwithstanding, he warneth them to consider what is expedient, lest by this long breaking off as it were from marriage, they bestirred up to incontinency.
- 1 Corinthians 7:5 Do nothing else.
- 1 Corinthians 7:6 Fifthly, he teacheth that marriage is not simply necessary for all men, but for them which have not the gift of continency, and this gift is by a peculiar grace of God.
