1 Corinthians 7:1-7
Skip Heitzig
1 Corinthians 7 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. |
2 | Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. |
3 | Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. |
4 | The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. |
5 | 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 Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. |
6 | But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. |
7 | For 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. |

First Corinthians was written to a church that was being adversely affected by the immoral culture around it. Skip Heitzig relates some teachings that seem very contemporary to us today.
