The Bible teaches differently:

Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

- I Corinthians 7:3-5

[Natural Law]

"The Bible teaches differently:"

Celibacy only means unmarried.

[Houghton M.]

The passage you quoted says not to refrain from sexual relations unilaterally (the “marriage debt”). But St. Paul goes on to make an exception: “except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again.”

The bishop’s (priests derived from bishops) life is to be one of prayer.

This is the basis for the discipline that required arried bishops and priests to abstain from marital relations, by mutual consent, upon ordination.

But I doubt I’ll convince you. Your mind is made up if you post something that undermines your own claim and don’t realize that it does.

Apparently you haven't read all of the Bible.
