    • 7:3

      due: Lit. “debt; obligation.” The due mentioned here refers to sexual relations that are a natural part of God’s gift of marriage. Marriage partners should not intentionally withhold that blessing from each other except by mutual consent. (1Co 7:5) Jesus allows for another exception, that is, infidelity on the part of one mate, which gives the other the option to seek a divorce.​—Mt 5:32; 19:9.
