1 Now I will answer the questions that you asked in your letter. You asked, “Is it best for people not to marry?”
2 Well, having your own husband or wife should keep you from doing something immoral.
3 Husbands and wives should be fair with each other about having sex.
4 A wife belongs to her husband instead of to herself, and a husband belongs to his wife instead of to himself.
5 So don't refuse sex to each other, unless you agree not to have sex for a little while, in order to spend time in prayer. Then Satan won't be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 In my opinion that is what should be done, though I don't know of anything the Lord said about this matter.
7 I wish that all of you were like me, but God has given different gifts to each of us.
