The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.King James Bible
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.American Standard Version
The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.Young's Literal Translation
the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.1 Corinthians 7:4 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleThe wife hath not power, etc. - Her person belongs to her husband; her husband's person belongs to her: neither of them has any authority to refuse what the other has a matrimonial right to demand. The woman that would act so is either a knave or a fool. It would be trifling to attribute her conduct to any other cause than weakness or folly. She does not love her husband; or she loves some one else better than her husband; or she makes pretensions to a fancied sanctity unsupported by Scripture or common sense. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Hosea 3:3 And I said to her, You shall abide for me many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for another man... Matthew 19:9 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery... Mark 10:11,12 And he said to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her... 1 Corinthians 7:4 Parallel Commentaries
