@Hyolobrika @Mitsu Yep!
"The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does."
- 1 Corinthians 7:4 #NKJV
Ty.
That reminds me of the bit in the Quran that says "They shall be a raiment [article of clothing] for you, and you for them".

Okay but which one's more accurate to the original whatever-language-it-was-written-in?
@Hyolobrika @feld @Mitsu Probably the #LSV, which isn't even on #BibleGateway:
"the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner also, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife."
@Hyolobrika @feld @Mitsu It's called the "Literal Standard Version", probably the closest we'll get to a legible word-for-word translation of #Scripture.
I meant closest to the intent of the author (Paul?), not the most literal word-for-word translation. Because idioms change. So we can't rely on a word-for-word translation being interpreted by a modern audience how (I'm assuming) Paul would have expected the original to be interpreted.
