1 Corinthians 7:6
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7:6. Paul presented this possibility for temporary abstention from sexual intercourse in marriage as a concession if the preceding stipulations were met. He did not want his advice construed as a command. The suggestion that Paul was referring to marriage itself as a “concession” is unlikely in view of Genesis 1:28, the first command to mankind in the Bible, and in view of Paul’s Jewish background where marriage was obligatory for all men except the sexually impotent (Mishnah, Niddah 5: 9).
