* **come together again** - AT: "sleep together again"
* **because of your lack of self-control** - control**  - AT: "because after some days, your sexual desires will be harder to keep under control"
* **I say these things to you more as concession and not as command** - Paul tells the Corinthians that they can take a short period of time to abstain from sleeping together for the purpose of prayer, but that this is a special case, not an continuing requirement.
