1 Korinther 7:2

2 Aber um der Hurerei willen habe ein jeder sein eigenes Weib, und eine jede habe ihren eigenen Mann.

1 Korinther 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 Korinther 7:2 In-Context

1 Was aber das betrifft, wovon ihr mir geschrieben habt, so ist es gut für einen Menschen, kein Weib zu berühren.

2 Aber um der Hurerei willen habe ein jeder sein eigenes Weib, und eine jede habe ihren eigenen Mann.

3 Der Mann leiste dem Weibe die eheliche Pflicht, gleicherweise aber auch das Weib dem Manne.

4 Das Weib hat nicht Macht über ihren eigenen Leib, sondern der Mann; gleicherweise aber hat auch der Mann nicht Macht über seinen eigenen Leib, sondern das Weib.

5 Entziehet euch einander nicht, es sei denn etwa nach Übereinkunft eine Zeitlang, auf daß ihr zum Beten Muße habet; und kommet wieder zusammen, auf daß der Satan euch nicht versuche wegen eurer Unenthaltsamkeit.
