Passage 1 Corinthians 7:1-9:

1 Corinthians 7

Teaching on Marriage

   1Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is (A)good for a man not to touch a woman.

   2But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband.

   3The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

   4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

   5(B)Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that (C)Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

   6But this I say by way of concession, (D)not of command.

   7[a]Yet I wish that all men were (E)even as I myself am However, (F)each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

   8But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is (G)good for them if they remain (H)even as I.

   9But if they do not have self-control, (I)let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
