¹ And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me, it is praiseworthy for a man not to approach a woman. ² But, on account of whoredom, let each have his own wife and let a woman have her own husband. ³ And let the man render to his wife the kindness which is due; and so also the woman to her husband. ⁴ The woman is not the sovereign over her body, but her husband: so also the man is not the sovereign over his body, but the wife. ⁵ Therefore, deprive not one another, except when ye both consent, at the time ye devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and return again to the same disposition, that Satan tempt you not because of the concupiscence of your body. ⁶ But this I say, as to weak persons, not of positive precept. ⁷ For I would that all men might be like me in purity.
