1 Corinthiens 7:2

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

1 Corinthiens 7:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 7:2

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication
Or "fornications"; meaning either the frequent commission of that sin; or all sorts of uncleanness and pollution, which may be avoided by wedlock, and the proper use of the marriage bed, where the gift of continency is not bestowed: wherefore to prevent unlawful copulations, as of single persons with one another, or of a married person with a single one, the apostle advises, as being what is right and proper,

let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own
husband;
that is, let every man that has a wife enjoy her, and make use of her, and let every woman that has an husband, receive him into her embraces; for these words are not to be understood of unmarried persons entering into a marriage state, for the words suppose them in such a state, but of the proper use of the marriage bed; and teach us that marriage, and the use of it, are proper remedies against fornication; and that carnal copulation of a man with a woman ought only to be of husband and wife, or of persons in a married state; and that all other copulations are sinful; and that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him.

1 Corinthiens 7:2 In-Context

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.
