Mat. 19:6 So that they are no longer two,

but one. What God himself, then, has yoked
together man must not separate.”

Mexican prisons allow prisoners to be with

their mates on a weekly basis. The sinful
American prison and jail systems regularly
separate those yoked together in marriage
by God. In doing so they enable Satan to
take advantage of the needs of these
prisoners and their mates and pull them
into sin (1 Cor7:2,3,5).

What does "active present" mean? According

to J. Gresham Machen, D.D., Litt. D.
(Westminister Theological Seminary) in his
NEW TESTAMENT GREEK, the ACTIVE PRESENT
"indicates customary action . . .they are
being . . . . we are leading . . . I am
going".
According to William W. Goodwin, Ph.D., LL.
D.; (Profes
Harvard College), in his GREEK GRAMMAR,
"PRESENT, continued or repeated present
action: 'I am writing' or 'I write'
(habitually)."

"Active present" means CUSTOMARY,

CONTINUED, REPEATED or HABITUAL PRESENT
ACTION.
SO IN LIGHT OF THE GREEK CONSIDER THE FULL
MEANING
"customarily, regularly, repeatedly,
habitually and/or continuously keep on "
Recognizing the present tense of the
Greek, the fuller and more exact meaning
is as follows:
***1Cor 7:2 but because of cases of
immorality every man SHOULD customarily,
regularly, repeatedly and/or continuously
keep on HAVING his own wife, . . . . .3.
The husband SHOULD customarily, regularly,
repeatedly and/or continuously keep on
FULFILLING his duty toward his wife . . . 5
Do not customarily, regularly, repeatedly
and/or continuously keep on denying each
other [sexually], unless, it may be, by
consent for a time, that you may devote
yourselves to prayer, and again be
[sexually] together, that S

The only way most prisoners can wholesomely

obey this command in prison is to
customarily, regularly, repeatedly and/or
continuously keep on HAVING his own wife
in his mind and memories. That might work
for him and it might work for her, but
they still are caused to be in violation of
“Do not customarily, regularly, repeat

Anyone who has worked with or known for

long prisoners who have been incarcerated
for long knows that most such prisoners are
not having sexual control over themselves,
they are not successfully abstaining from
sex sin, and so are under command to be
sexually having their own mates (1Cor 7:2).
The sinful USA prison and jail systems make
it very difficult for inmates/prisoners to
as God instructs.

So in the name of punishing criminals, they

force them and their mates into sexual sin
by denying them the opportunity to do that
which God commands.
***1 Cor 7: 2* But because there is so much
fornication every man should have a wife of
his own, and every woman should have a
husband. 3* Let a man pay his wife her due,
and let a woman also pay her husband his.
4* A married woman is not mistress of her
own person: her husband has certain rights.
In the same way a married man is not master
of his own person: his wife has certain
rights. 5* Do not refuse one another,
unless perhaps it is just for a time and by
mutual consent, so that you may devote
yourselves to prayer and may then associate
again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt
you because of your deficiency in self-

***1Cor7:2* But, owing to the prevalence of

immorality, I advise every man to have his
own wife, and every woman her husband. 3* A
husband should give his wife her due, and a
wife her husband. 4* It is not the wife,
but the husband, who exercises power over
her body; and so, too, it is not the
husband, but the wife, who exercises power
over his body. 5* Do not deprive each other
of what is due-unless it is only for a time
and by mutual consent, so that your minds
may be free for prayer till you again live
as man and wife-lest Satan should take
advantage of your want of self-control and
tempt you.TCNT

***1 Cor 6: 9 ¶ Do you not know that

unrighteous persons shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not err: neither sex
sinners [those who have sexual intimacy
with someone other than their own
heterosexual marital partner - Ezek23], . .
. nor those who have sex with another's
woman &/or those who leave their wives and
marry another, . . nor male catamites &/or
prostitutes who allow themselves to be
homosexually used , nor
homosexuals/pederasts , 10 nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive
persons, nor extortioners, shall inherit
the kingdom of God. . . . 13 . . . The
body is not intended for sexual immorality,
but [is intended] for the Lord, and the
Lord [is intended] for the body [to save,
sanctify, and raise it again]. . . . 15 Do
you not see and know that your bodies are
members (bodily parts) of Christ (the
Messiah)? Am I therefore to take the parts
of Christ and make [them] parts of a
sexually immoral woman? Never! Never! 16
Or do you not know and realize that when a
man joins himself to a a sexually immoral
woman, he becomes one body with her? The
two, it is written, shall become one flesh.
. . . 18 Flee from having intimate sexual
contact with someone who is not your own
heterosexual marital partner. Any other
sin which a man commits is one outside the
body, but he who commits sexual immorality
sins against his own body. 19 Do you not
know that your body is the temple (the very
sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives
within you, Whom you have received [as a
Gift] from God? You are not your own, 20
You were bought with a price [purchased
with a preciousness and paid for, made His
own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to
Him in your body. 7: 1* ¶ But concerning
the things of which ye have written to me:
It is good for a male not to continue -keep
on - touching a woman; 2 but because of and
to avoid sexual immorality each man should
be [sexually] having his own woman, and
each woman should be [sexually] having her
own man. [See note below at ^^^}
***Prov. 5:18 Your fountain/genital should
be blessed; and rejoice and be glad with
the wife of your youth. 19 . . . her
breasts should satisfy/intoxicate/saturate
you at all times; you should be intoxicated
continually with her affectionate loving
***1 Cor 7:4. The woman doesn't have
[sexual] authority over her own body, but
the husband [does]; in like manner also the
man doesn't have [sexual] authority over
his own body, but the woman [does]. 5 Do
not be denying each other [sexually],
unless, it may be, by consent for a time,
that you may devote yourselves to fasting
and prayer, and again be conjugally
cohabiting [sexually reuniting], that Satan
tempt you not because of your failure to
control yourself.
6But this I say by way of concession{4774},
not of command. 7[a]Yet I wish that all men
were (E)even as I myself am However,
(F)each man has his own gift from God, one
in this manner, and another in that. [NASB]
6 I say this as a concession{4774}, not as
a command. 7 I wish that all people were
just like me. But each has his own gift (E)
from God, one this and another that. [HCSB]
6and this I say by way of
concurrence{4774} -- not of command, 7for I
wish all men to be even as I myself [am];
but each his own gift hath of God, one
indeed thus, and one thus. [YLT]
{4774} = concession, permission.
6and this I say by way of concurrence,
concession or permission {4774} [as
something "granted", a "preferential
allowance, " a "right . . . granted"] --
not of or as a command, 7for I wish all men
to be even as I myself [am]; but each his
own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and
one thus. [YLT; Strongs; NASB, HCSB]

. . . 8 To the unmarried and the widows

(women bereft of a husand) I say that it is
good for them to remain single as I am. 9
But if they are not continuing to restrain
themselves [are not abstaining from sex sin
], they should marry, for it is better to
marry than to burn with desire.
10 I command the married —not I, but the
Lord—a [believing] wife is not to leave,
depart or separate from [Strong's 5563]
her [believing] husband. 11 But if she does
leave, depart, and/or separate [Strong's
5563], she must remain unmarried or be
reconciled to her husband—and a [believing]
husband/man should not forsake, lay aside,
leave, put (send) away and/or divorce
[Strongs 863] his wife/woman. 12 But to the
rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother
has an unbelieving wife/woman, and she is
willing [consents, would like] to
[maritally] continue on occupying a house,
reside , cohabiting^ and/or dwelling
[3611]> with him, he must not forsake, lay
aside, leave, put (send) away, and/or remit
[Strongs 863] her. 13 Also, if any woman
has an unbelieving husband/man, and he is
willing [consents, would like] to keep on
[maritally] occupying a house, residing ,
cohabiting^ and/or dwelling [3611] with
her, she must not forsake, lay aside,
leave, put (send) away, and/or remit
[Strongs 863] her husband/man [But if she
does leave, depart, and/or separate
[Strong's 5563], she must remain unmarried
or be reconciled to her husband, v.11]. . .
.15 But if the unbeliever leaves, departs
and/or separates himself [Strong's 5563],
he should go away/depart/separate/leave,
[he should separate, make the separation].
A brother or a sister is not [legally,
morally, maritally] bound in such cases [in
the Kingdom of God]. God has called you to
peace. . . . . . 17 However, each one
must live his life in the situation the
Lord assigned when God called him. This is
what I command in all the churches. . . 20
After God calls him, everyone should remain
in the station or condition of life in
which the summons [of God] found him. . . .
24 Brethren, each one is to remain with God
in that condition in which he was called
[by God]. . . . . .. . 27 Are you bound to
a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you
loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. . .
. 39 A [believing] wife is bound to her
[believing] husband by [God's] Law as long
as he lives. But if her husband dies, she
is free to be married to anyone she wants—
only in the Lord.
A believing wife is maritally bound to her
unbelieving husband in the Kingdom of God
{1} as long as he is willing [consents,
would like] to keep on [maritally]
occupying a house, residing , cohabiting
and/or dwelling with her (7:11,13); or {2}
until the unbeliever leaves, departs and/or
separates himself from the believing mate
(7:15).
A believing husband is maritally bound to
his unbelieving wife in the Kingdom of God
{1} as long as she is willing [consents,
would like] to keep on [maritally]
occupying a house, residing , cohabiting
and/or dwelling with him (7:11,12); or {2}
until the unbeliever leaves, departs and/or
separates herself from the believing mate
(7:15).
^ = To cohabit is to "live together and
have a sexual relationship without being
married"
