1 Corinthians 7:5 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

3 El marido pague á la mujer la debida benevolencia; y asimismo la mujer al marido.

4 La mujer no tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino el marido: é igualmente tampoco el marido tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino la mujer.

5 No os defraudéis el uno al otro, á no ser por algún tiempo de [mutuo] consentimiento, para ocuparos en la oración: y volved á juntaros en uno, porque no os tiente Satanás á causa de vuestra incontinencia.

6 Mas esto digo por permisión, no por mandamiento.

7 Quisiera más bien que todos los hombres fuesen como yo: empero cada uno tiene su propio don de Dios; uno á la verdad así, y otro así.
