1 Corinthians 5:1,7:1-9 KJB: 1   It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
1   Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2   Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3   Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4   The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5   Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6   But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7   For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8   I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9   But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
