5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.

6But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

7Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

9But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

10But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband

11(but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.
