Galatians 6:1

Plain English Version

My Christian friends, if you catch one of your own mob doing something bad, the rest of you that listen properly to God’s spirit, you have to get that person to stop. Make sure you talk to that person in a good and easy way. Remember, Satan tries to get you to do bad things too, so be careful.

If you go too long without sleeping together, then he will try to get one of you to sleep with somebody else.
