1 Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.2 Nevertheless, to avoid immorality, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.3 Let the husband render to the wife her due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your lack of self–control.
