1 Corinthians 7:5-9 Therefore do not deprive one another except when both of you consent to do so, especially at the time when you devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your physical passion.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Therefore do not deprive one another except when both of you consent to do so, especially at the time when you devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your physical passion. ⁶ But I say this only to weak persons, for it is not part of the law. ⁷ For I would that all men were like myself in purity. But every man has his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that. ⁸ I say this to those who have no wives and to widows, It is better for them to be as I am; ⁹ But if they cannot endure it, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
