5. Defraud 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.
6. But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7. Yet 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.
8. But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9. But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10. But 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.
12. But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
13. And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.
14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
