1 Now concerning what you wrote to me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.2 But, because of the fornications, let each have his [own] wife, and let each have her own husband.3 Let the husband give to the wife proper kindness, and likewise the wife also 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 [it is] with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence.
