1 Corinthians 7:2-7

2ButG1161 becauseG1223 there is so much sexual immoralityG4202, each manG1538 should haveG2192 hisG1438 own wifeG1135, andG2532 each womanG1538 her ownG2398 husbandG435.

3TheG3588 husbandG435 should fulfillG591 his marital dutyG3782 toG3588 his wifeG1135, andG1161 likewiseG3668G2532 theG3588 wifeG1135 toG3588 her husbandG435. 4TheG3588 wifeG1135 does notG3756 have authority overG1850 her ownG2398 bodyG4983, butG235 theG3588 husbandG435. LikewiseG3668G2532 theG3588 husbandG435 does notG3756 have authority overG1850 his ownG2398 bodyG4983, butG235 theG3588 wifeG1135.

5Do notG3361 depriveG650 each otherG240, exceptG1487G3385G302 byG1537 mutual consentG4859 and forG4314 a timeG2540, soG2443 you may devote yourselvesG4980 to prayerG4335. ThenG2532 comeG1510 togetherG1909 againG3825, so thatG2443 SatanG4567 will not temptG3361G3985 youG4771 throughG1223 yourG4771 lack of self-controlG192. 6I sayG3004 thisG3778 asG2596 a concessionG4774, notG3756 asG2596 a commandG2003. 7I wish thatG2309 allG3956 menG444 wereG1510 asG5613 I amG1683. ButG235 eachG1538 man hasG2192 his ownG2398 giftG5486 fromG1537 GodG2316; oneG3588 has thisG3779 gift, anotherG3588 has thatG3779.
