"meat is design'd for the belly, and the belly for meat:" true, yet God has design'd both for destruction. now the body is not design'd for licentiousness, but for the glory of the Lord; since the Lord died for the glorification of the body: for as God hath raised up the Lord, so will he likewise raise us up to partake of his own power. Don't you know, that your bodies are parts of Christ's mystical body? now, how can that which is Christ's, be made the property of a very creature? read more.
it cannot be. why, don't you perceive, that where there is such an attachment, they are but as one person? for the scripture says, "they two shall be as one." but he that is attach'd to the Lord, is united to him by one and the same spirit. flee licentiousness. no other sin that a man commits does affect the church as a body: but the licentious commits a fraud against the whole body to which he belongs. what! know ye not that your bodies are the temple of the holy spirit, which is in you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? for you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

Now as to the question you writ to me about; "whether it is best for a man not to marry?" I answer, with regard to the licentious, it is best for a man, to have his wife; and for a woman to have her husband. let the husband discharge his obligations to his wife: and likewise the wife to the husband. read more.
the wife has not the right of her own person, but the husband: and so likewise the husband has not the right of his own person, but the wife. don't desert one another, unless you mutually consent to retire for a time, to the solemnity of prayer; and then come together again, lest satan make an attempt upon your continency. but as for the rest, I speak it by way of counsel, and not of command. for I wish that all men were as I myself am: but every man hath his proper gift from God, some one way, and some another. As to the unmarried and widows, I say, it is best for them to continue so, as I do. but if they have not the gift, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to be in pain.
