1 And concerning the things of which you wrote to me: [it is] good for a man not to touch a woman, 2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; 3 to the wife let the husband render the due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; 4 the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner also, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife. 5 Do not defraud one another, except by consent for a time, that you may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that Satan may not tempt you because of your self-indulgence;
