1 Corinthians 7:1-9

1NowG1161 concerningG4012 the thingsG3739 whereof ye wroteG1125: It is goodG2570 for a manG444 not to touchG681 a womanG1135. 2But, because of fornications, let each manG435 have his ownG2398 wifeG1135, and let each womanG1135 have her ownG2398 husbandG435. 3Let the husbandG435 renderG591 unto the wifeG1135 her due: and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the wifeG1135 unto the husbandG435. 4The wifeG1135 hath not power over her ownG2398 bodyG4983, but the husbandG435: and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the husbandG435 hath not power over his ownG2398 bodyG4983, but the wifeG1135. 5DefraudG650 ye not oneG240 the other, except it beG1510 by consent for a seasonG2540, that ye may give yourselves unto prayerG4335, and may beG1510 together againG3825, that SatanG4567 temptG3985 you not because of your incontinency. 6But this I sayG3004 by way of concession, not of commandmentG2003. 7Yet I wouldG2309 that all menG444 wereG1510 evenG2532 as I myself. Howbeit each manG444 hath his ownG2398 giftG5486 from GodG2316, oneG1538 after this mannerG3779, and another after that.

8But I sayG3004 to the unmarriedG22 and to widowsG5503, It is goodG2570 for them if they abideG3306 evenG2532 as I. 9But if they have not continency, let them marryG1060: for it isG1510 better to marryG1060 than to burnG4448.
