To all:


> ANQRWPWi GUNAIKOS MH hAPTESQAI - a man not to have
> sexual relations with a
> woman

It does seem obvious to me that there is no mention of
"wife" in verse 1.

Many have suggested that the verb hAPTESQAI is a
euphemism for at least some form of sexual behavior. I
assume this is correct, but can someone point me to a
few examples of this outside the Bible. After all,
that is why I am learning Greek... I like to go to the
source.
