1 Corinthians 7:5

The Message Bible (MSG)

Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it's for the purposes of prayer and fasting--but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it.
— 1 Corinthians 7:5 (MSG)
