1 Corinthians 7:5-9 You husbands and wives must stop refusing each other what is due, unless you agree to do so just for awhile, so as to have plenty of time for prayer, and then to be together again, so as to keep Satan from tempting you because of your lack of self-control.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ You husbands and wives must stop refusing each other what is due, unless you agree to do so just for awhile, so as to have plenty of time for prayer, and then to be together again, so as to keep Satan from tempting you because of your lack of self-control. ⁶ But I say this by way of concession, not by way of command. ⁷ However, I should like for everyone to be just as I am myself, yet each of us has his own special gift from God, one for one way, another for another. ⁸ To unmarried people and to widows I would say this: It would be a fine thing for them to remain single, as I am. ⁹ But if they do not practice self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burning in the fire of passion.
