1 Corinthians 7:5

7:5 Do not deprive each other, except by mutual agreement for a specified time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. ¹  Then resume your relationship, ²  so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

1 Corinthians 14:26

Church Order

14:26 What should you do then, brothers and sisters? ⁴  When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

1 Corinthians 16:12

16:12 With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, ⁵  but it was simply not his intention to come now. ⁶  He will come when he has the opportunity.

[7:5]  ¹ tc Most later witnesses (א² Ï sy) add “fasting and” (τῇ νηστείᾳ καί, th nhsteia kai) before “prayer.” But such an addition is motivated by ascetic concerns; further, its lack in Ì^11vid,46 א* A B C D F G P Ψ 33 1739 1881 2464 al latt co argues decisively against its authenticity.

[7:5]  ² tn Grk “and be together again.”
