1 Corinthians 7:2
But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:3
Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.
1 Corinthians 7:4
The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife.
1 Corinthians 7:5
Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.
1 Corinthians 7:6
But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:7
It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

1 Corinthians 7:26
In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.
1 Corinthians 7:28
If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.
1 Corinthians 7:34
And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:35
Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:37
But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.
1 Corinthians 7:40
But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.
