1 Corinthians 7:1-6

Revised Geneva Translation

7 Now, concerning the things about which you wrote to me, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

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

³ Let the husband give to the wife her due affection, and likewise also the wife 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 with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again, so that Satan does not tempt you for your intemperance.

⁶ Yet, I speak this by permission, not by commandment.
