Let the husband render to the wife her due, and in like manner also the wife the husband. The wife has not the right to her body, but the husband; and in like manner the husband has not the right to his body, but the wife. Withhold not yourselves from one another, except by agreement for a time that you may be at leisure for prayer, and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you by your incontinence.

As in all the churches of the saints, let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

For a woman under a husband is bound by law to a living husband; but if the husband has died she is released from the law of the husband. Therefore while the husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she is married to another man; but if the husband has died, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if married to another man.
