Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

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.

Do not deprive one another, unless it is with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away.

If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!
