1 Corinthians 7:6

---

← 1 Corinthians 7:5	1 Corinthians 7:6 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 7:7 →
Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.	But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.	For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
