As far as I Corinthians 7:1-5 goes, This scripture has classically been interpreted as the closest thing to a sex manual the New Testament has for Christian marriages. Not a call to beat up someone who insults your wife. Since if he actually did beat up that horny old man it would violate Romans 12: 17-21.
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.
Nothing in here about beating up horny old men who have insulted your wife. Just an admonition about sex.
