Expanded Bible

About Marriage

7 Now ·I will discuss [^Lconcerning] the things you wrote me about [^Cin a letter from the Corinthians; see 8:1; 12:1; 16:1]. It is good for a man not to ·have sexual relations with [^Ltouch; ^Ca euphemism for sex] a woman [^Cprobably another slogan (6:12; 8:1, 4; 10:23) asserting that a celibate lifestyle was spiritually superior]. ² But because ·sexual sin is a danger [of sexual temptations; ^Lof sexual sins], each man should ·have [or have sexual relations with] his own wife, and each woman should ·have [or have sexual relations with] her own husband.
