1 Corinthians 7:5-7
New King James Version
5 (A)Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that (B)Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 But I say this as a concession, (C)not as a commandment. 7 For (D)I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
