Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

1 Corinthians 7:2

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

1 Corinthians 7:6

But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:8

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them to be even as I am.
