^5 [a](A)Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and ^[b]come together again so that ^(B)Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ⁶ But this I say by way of concession, ^(C)not of command. ^7 [c]Yet I wish that all ^[d]men were ^(D)even as I myself am.

The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”
