1 I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage. 2 But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband. 3 Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his. 4 A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights. 1 Corinthians 7:1-4, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
