Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 7:2

2 Nevertheless to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband .

In the Greek it is, because of fornications; the sense of which can be no other than this which our Translators give. The word is in the Plural number, to signifie that that which he meaneth by this term, is all sorts of impurities and uncleannesses, which are the products of the [illegible: 1 letter]usts of the flesh. These are sins of that nature and species, that if we cannot chuse what in respect of some circumstances would be more convenient, we must baulk it, rather than run into such a guilt. The Apostle doth therefore determine that in this case, it was every mans duty to marry, and every womans likewise; the reason of which must be, because God had ordained marriage as a means to bridle men, and restrain them from extravagant lusts. [His own wife] [her own husband] a clear place against Polygamy.
