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.

5 Do not deprive each other [of marital rights], except perhaps by mutual consent for a time, so that you may devote yourselves [unhindered] to prayer, but come together again so that Satan will not tempt you [to sin] because of your lack of self-control. 6 But I am saying this as a concession, not as a command. 7 I wish that all the people were as I am; but each person has his own gift from God, one of this kind and one of that.
