1 Corinthians 7:3 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

1 Pour ce qui concerne les choses dont vous m’avez écrit, je pense qu’il est bon pour l’homme de ne point toucher de femme.

2 Toutefois, pour éviter l’impudicité, que chacun ait sa femme, et que chaque femme ait son mari.

3 Que le mari rende à sa femme ce qu’il lui doit, et que la femme agisse de même envers son mari.

4 La femme n’a pas autorité sur son propre corps, mais c’est le mari; et pareillement, le mari n’a pas autorité sur son propre corps, mais c’est la femme.

5 Ne vous privez point l’un de l’autre, si ce n’est d’un commun accord pour un temps, afin de vaquer à la prière; puis retournez ensemble, de peur que Satan ne vous tente par votre incontinence.
