1 Now in response to the matters you wrote  * 7:1 Other mss add to me about: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."  * 7:1 Or "It is good for a man not to use a woman for sex"; lit "It is good for a man not to touch a woman."2 But because sexual immorality is so common,  * 7:2 Lit because of immoralities,* 7:2 1Th 4:3 each man should have sexual relations with his own wife,  * 7:2 Mt 1:6; 1Pt 3:1 and each woman should have sexual relations with her own husband. 3 A husband should fulfill his marital duty  * 7:3 Rm 13:7 to his wife, and likewise a wife to her husband. 4 A wife does not have the right over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband does not have the right over his own body, but his wife does. 5 Do not deprive  * 7:5 Mk 10:19 one another — except when you agree for a time, to devote yourselves to  * 7:5 Other mss add fasting and to prayer. Then come together again; otherwise, Satan may tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
