1COR 7:1–7:7 ©

Married people should not deprive their spouses of sexual relations, except under special conditions.

Married people should not deprive their spouses of sexual relations, except under special conditions.

1 Corinthians 7:1-7

7Now I will reply to the things that you wrote to me about.

It is good for people not to get married. 2But because many people are committing sexual immorality, which God detests, every man should have his own wife with whom he can have sexual relations, and every woman should have her own husband with whom she can have sexual relations. 3Every man must continue having sexual relations [EUP] with his wife, and every woman must continue having sexual relations with her husband. 4A man’s wife does not have the right over her own body to be the only one to decide about having sexual relations with her husband. Instead, her husband also has a right to decide about that. Similarly, a woman’s husband does not have the right over his own body to be the only one to decide about having sexual relations with his wife. Instead, his wife also has a right to decide about that. 5You may refuse to have sexual relations with each other [EUP] only if you both first agree to do that for a short time, in order that you may both have more time to pray. Then after that, begin having sexual relations again [EUP] in order that Satan will not be able to persuade you to have sex with someone else because you are unable to control your sexual desires.

6I am telling you these things to say that God allows you to get married, but he does not say that you must get married. 7I myself wish that all people would stay unmarried/single, as I am. But God has enabled each person to live in ways that seem right for them. He has enabled some people to live without getting married, and he has enabled other people to get married.
