Bible verse
But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
1 Corinthians 7:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from 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.
5 Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.
