1 Corinzi 7:2

2 ma, per evitar le fornicazioni, ogni uomo abbia la propria moglie, e ogni donna il proprio marito.

1 Corinzi 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 Corinzi 7:2 In-Context

1 Or quant’è alle cose delle quali m’avete scritto, è bene per l’uomo di non toccar donna;

2 ma, per evitar le fornicazioni, ogni uomo abbia la propria moglie, e ogni donna il proprio marito.

3 Il marito renda alla moglie quel che le è dovuto; e lo stesso faccia la moglie verso il marito.

4 La moglie non ha potestà sul proprio corpo, ma il marito; e nello stesso modo il marito non ha potestà sul proprio corpo, ma la moglie.

5 Non vi private l’un dell’altro, se non di comun consenso, per un tempo, affin di darvi alla preghiera; e poi ritornate assieme, onde Satana non vi tenti a motivo della vostra incontinenza.
