1 Corinthians 7:1-5
-
"Now concerning the things
whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to
touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication,
let every man have
his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence:
and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 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. 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 tempt you not for your incontinency."
