Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.

Do not deprive each other, except by mutual agreement for a specified time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then resume your relationship, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

But if they do not have self-control, let them get married. For it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.

Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.

It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.
