1 Corinthians 7:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ The husband should give his wife all that he owes her as his wife [^Cmeet her sexual needs]. And the wife should give her husband all that she owes him as her husband [^Cmeet his sexual needs]. ⁴ The wife does not have ·full rights [^Lauthority] over her own body; her husband shares them. And the husband does not have ·full rights [authority] over his own body; his wife shares them [^Crevolutionary teaching in the first century, when wives were generally viewed as the possession of their husbands]. ⁵ Do not ·refuse to give your bodies to [refuse sex to; ^Ldeprive] each other, unless you both agree to stay away from sexual relations for a time so you can ·give your time [devote yourselves] to prayer. Then ·come together again [resume your sexual relationship] so Satan cannot tempt you because of a lack of self-control.
