1 Corinthians 7

¹ Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.

² But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

³ The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.

⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
