18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin¹ a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

2 But because of the temptation to ⁱsexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her ^jconjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 ^kDo not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
