1 Corinthians 7:1-9
1NowG1161 concerningG4012 the things about whichG3739 you wroteG1125, it is 1goodG2570 for a manG444 not to touchG681 a womanG1135. 2But becauseG1223 of immoralitiesG4202, eachG1538 manG1538 is to haveG2192 his ownG1438 wifeG1135, and eachG1538 womanG1135 is to haveG2192 her ownG2398 husbandG435. 3The husbandG435 mustG3782 2fulfillG591 his dutyG3782 to his wifeG1135, and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the wifeG1135 to her husbandG435. 4The wifeG1135 does not haveG1850 authorityG1850 overG1850 her ownG2398 bodyG4983, but the husbandG435 does; and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the husbandG435 does not haveG1850 authorityG1850 overG1850 his ownG2398 bodyG4983, but the wifeG1135 does. 53StopG3361 deprivingG650 oneG240 anotherG240, exceptG1509 by agreementG4859 for a timeG2540, soG2443G3361 that you may devoteG4980 yourselvesG4980 to prayerG4335, and 4comeG1510 togetherG1909G3588G846 againG3825 soG2443G3361 that 5SatanG4567 will not temptG3985 you becauseG1223 of your lackG192 of self-controlG192. 6But thisG3778 I sayG3004 by wayG2596 of concessionG4774, 6not of commandG2003. 77YetG1161 I wishG2309 that allG3956 menG444 were 8evenG2532 as I myselfG1683 am. HoweverG235, 9eachG1538 manG1538 hasG2192 his ownG2398 giftG5486 from GodG2316, oneG3588G3303 in thisG3779 mannerG3779, and anotherG3739G1161 in that.
8But I sayG3004 to the unmarriedG22 and to widowsG5503 that it is 10goodG2570 for them ifG1437 they remainG3306 11evenG2532 as I. 9But ifG1487 they do not haveG1467 self-controlG1467, 12let them marryG1060; for it is betterG2909 to marryG1060 thanG2228 to burnG4448 with passion.
