1 Corinthians 7:4 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Marriage is about giving yourself fully to each other, and it's a two-way street.
