Do you not think Paul wrote in Greek?
I am not discussing πορνεία.
The words I quoted from the Greek are πάθει [passion] and ‘ριθυμίας [desire/lust]. In those verses Paul condemns passion and desire/lust in sex, even in the context of marriage. In that regard Paul echoes the ideas of various ancient moralists who advocated sex without passion. Hence his dour comment in I Corinthians 7.3 that the husband and wife give one another their "όφειλήν [debt/duty].
