1 Now, concerning the things of which you wrote me: It is good for a man not to marry a woman.
2 Nevertheless, on account of uncleanness, let every man have a wife of his own, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband fulfill his obligations to his wife: and in like manner, also, the wife to the husband.
4 The wife has not the command of her own person, but the husband: and in like manner, also, the husband has not the command of his own person, but the wife.
5 Deprive not one another, unless, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; and do you come again together, that Satan may not tempt you through your incontinency.
