Now cocerning the things wherof ye wrote vnto me, It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Neuerthelesse, to auoid fornication, let euery man haue his owne wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband.

Let the husband render vnto the wife due beneuolence: and likewise also the wife vnto the husband.

The wife hath not power of her owne body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his owne body, but the wife.

Defraud you not one the other, except it bee with consent for a time, that yee may giue your selues to fasting and prayer, and come together againe, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinencie.

But I speake this by permission, and not of commandement.
