1 Corinthians 7:2-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

² But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband. ³ The husband must ^[a]fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. ⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. ^5 (A)Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and ^[b]come together again so that ^(B)Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ⁶ But this I say by way of concession, ^(C)not of command.
