Proverbs 5:15-23
Drink water from your own well. Drink running water from your own spring.Should your springs pour out into the streets? Should your streams of water pour out in public places?No! Let them belong to you alone. Never share them with strangers.May your fountain be blessed. May the wife you married when you were young make you happy.She is like a loving doe, a graceful deer. May her breasts always satisfy you. May you always be captured by her love.My son, why be captured by another man’s wife? Why hug a woman who has gone astray?The Lord watches your ways. He studies all your paths.Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts. They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.They will die because they refused to be corrected. Their sins will capture them because they were very foolish.

1 Corinthians 7 2-1 Corinthians 7 16
But since sexual sin is happening, each man should sleep with his own wife. And each woman should sleep with her own husband.A husband should satisfy his wife’s needs. And a wife should satisfy her husband’s needs.The wife’s body does not belong only to her. It also belongs to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong only to him. It also belongs to his wife.You shouldn’t stop giving yourselves to each other. You might possibly do this when you both agree to it. And you should only agree to it to give yourselves time to pray. Then you should come together again. In that way, Satan will not tempt you when you can’t control yourselves.I say those things to you as my advice, not as a command.I wish all of you were single like me. But you each have your own gift from God. One has this gift, and another has that one.I speak now to those who are not married. I also speak to widows. It is good for you to stay single like me.But if you can’t control yourselves, you should get married. It is better to get married than to burn with desire.I give a command to those who are married. It is a direct command from the Lord, not from me. A wife must not leave her husband.But if she does, she must not get married again. Or she can go back to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.I also have something to say to everyone else. It is from me, not a direct command from the Lord. Suppose a brother has a wife who is not a believer. If she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.And suppose a woman has a husband who is not a believer. If he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.The unbelieving husband has been made holy through his wife. The unbelieving wife has been made holy through her believing husband. If that were not the case, your children would not be pure and“ clean.” But as it is, they are holy.But if the unbeliever leaves, let that person go. In that case, the believer does not have to stay married to the unbeliever. God wants us to live in peace.Wife, how do you know if you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know if you will save your wife?

Ephesians 5:5
Here is what you can be sure of. Those who give themselves over to sexual sins are lost. So are people whose lives are impure. The same is true of those who always want more and more.

You turn your back on what I say.When you see a thief, you join him. You make friends with those who commit adultery.You use your mouth to speak evil. You use your tongue to spread lies.You are a witness against your brother. You always tell lies about your own mother’s son.When you did these things, I kept silent. So you thought I was just like you. But now I’m going to bring you to court. I will bring charges against you.“ You who forget God, think about this. If you don’t, I will tear you to pieces. No one will be able to save you.
