1 Corinthians 7:5 Context
3Let the husband render vnto the wife due beneuolence: and likewise also the wife vnto the husband. 4The wife hath not power of her owne body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his owne body, but the wife. 5Defraud you not one the other, except it bee with consent for a time, that yee may giue your selues to fasting and prayer, and come together againe, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinencie. 6But I speake this by permission, and not of commandement. 7For I would that all men were euen as I my selfe: but euery man hath his proper gift of God, one after this maner, and another after that.

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.

Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
