He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”Genesis 39:10Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.Genesis 39:11One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.Genesis 39:12She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.Ruth 3:6So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had instructed her to do.Ruth 3:7After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain.

You have shown more kindness now than before, because you have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.Ruth 3:11And now do not be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you request, since all my fellow townspeople know that you are a woman of noble character.Ruth 3:12Yes, it is true that I am a kinsman-redeemer, but there is a redeemer nearer than I.Ruth 3:13Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, good. Let him redeem you. But if he does not want to redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will.

How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife?

And he gave Him the name Jesus.Matthew 5:27You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’Matthew 5:28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.Matthew 19:12For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”Romans 13:13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.1 Corinthians 7:1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.1 Corinthians 7:2But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.1 Corinthians 7:3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.1 Corinthians 7:4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband.

But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.1 Corinthians 7:29What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;1 Corinthians 7:36However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.1 Corinthians 7:37But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.1 Corinthians 7:38So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.1 Corinthians 9:27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.Colossians 3:5Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.1 Timothy 4:12Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.1 Timothy 5:1Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father.
