         Glosses: sexual life

         Comments: It is also possible to understand σκεῦος in {S:05200400400014} as one’s wife (see {D:10.55}). σκεῦος in {S:05200400400014} may also be understood as one’s body, and therefore the phrase τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σκεῦος κτᾶσθαι may be rendered as ‘to control his own body’ (see {D:8.6}).
