MLV(i)
2 But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband give to the wife her owed benevolence and likewise also the wife give to the husband.
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5 Do not deprive one another, except from agreement for some time, in order that you may occupy yourselves to fasting and to prayer, and you may come to the same again, in order that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your shortage of self-control.
6 But I am saying this according to concession, not according to commandment.
7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself am. But each one has his own gift from God, indeed the one is so and the one is thus.
8 But I am saying to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am. 9 But if they do not exercise self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to be on fire. 10 But I command to those who have married, (not I, but the Lord): the wife is not to be separated from her husband, 11 (but even if she is separated, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband is not to leave his wife.
12 But to the rest I say, (not the Lord); if some brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to dwell with him, let him not leave her. 13 And if a wife who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Consequently, your children were unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving spouse separates, let the one separate; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. Now God has called us in peace. 16 For what do you know O wife, if you will be saving your husband? Or what do you know O husband, if you will be saving your wife?
