Chapter 7

1 Now1161 concerning4012 the things whereof4012 3739 you wrote1125 to me: It is good2570 for a man444 not to touch680 a woman.1135

2 Nevertheless,1161 to avoid1223 fornication,4202 let every1538 man have2192 his own1438 wife,1135 and let every1538 woman have2192 her own2398 husband.435

3 Let the husband435 render591 to the wife1135 due3784 benevolence:2133 and likewise3668 also2532 the wife1135 to the husband.435

4 The wife1135 has not power1850 of her own2398 body,4983 but the husband:435 and likewise3668 also2532 the husband435 has not power1850 of his own2398 body,4983 but the wife.1135

5 Defraud650 you not one240 the other,240 except1509 it be with consent4859 for a time,2540 that you may give4980 yourselves to fasting3521 and prayer;4335 and come4905 together1909 again,3825 that Satan4567 tempt3985 you not for your5216 incontinency.192

6 But I speak3004 this5124 by permission,4774 and not of commandment.2003

7 For I would2309 that all3956 men444 were even2532 as I myself.1683 But every1538 man has2192 his proper2398 gift5486 of God,2316 one3739 3303 after3779 this3779 manner,3779 and another3588 after3779 that.

8 I say3004 therefore1161 to the unmarried22 and widows,5503 It is good2570 for them if1437 they abide3306 even2504 as I.

9 But if1487 they cannot3756 contain,1467 let them marry:1060 for it is better2909 to marry1060 than2228 to burn.4448

10 And to the married1060 I command,3853 yet not I, but the Lord,2962 Let not the wife1135 depart5562 from her husband:435

11 But and if1437 she depart,5562 let her remain3306 unmarried 22or2228 be reconciled2644 to her husband:435 and let not the husband435 put863 away863 his wife.1135

12 But to the rest3062 speak3004 I, not the Lord:2962 If1487 any1536 brother80 has2192 a wife1135 that believes571 not, and she be pleased4909 to dwell3611 with him, let him not put863 her away.863

13 And the woman1135 which3748 has2192 an husband435 that believes571 not, and if he be pleased4909 to dwell3611 with her, let her not leave863 him.

14 For the unbelieving571 husband435 is sanctified37 by the wife,1135 and the unbelieving571 wife1135 is sanctified37 by the husband:435 else1893 686 were your5216 children5043 unclean;169 but now3568 are they holy.40

15 But if1487 the unbelieving571 depart,5562 let him depart.5562 A brother80 or2228 a sister79 is not under bondage1402 in such5108 cases: but God2316 has called2564 us to peace.1515

16 For what5101 know1492 you, O wife,1135 whether1487 you shall save4982 your husband?435 or2228 how5101 know1492 you, O man,435 whether1487 you shall save4982 your wife?1135

17 But as God2316 has distributed3307 to every1538 man, as the Lord2962 has called2564 every1538 one, so3779 let him walk.4043 And so3779 ordain1299 I in all3956 churches.1577

18 Is any5100 man called2564 being circumcised?4059 let him not become1986 uncircumcised.1986 Is any5100 called2564 in uncircumcision?203 let him not be circumcised.4059

19 Circumcision4061 is nothing,3762 and uncircumcision203 is nothing,3762 but the keeping5084 of the commandments1785 of God.2316

20 Let every1538 man abide3306 in the same5026 calling2821 wherein1722 3757 he was called.2564

21 Are you called2564 being a servant?1401 care3199 not for it: but if1499 you may1410 be made1096 free,1658 use5530 it rather.3123

22 For he that is called2564 in the Lord,2962 being a servant,1401 is the Lord's2962 freeman:558 likewise3668 also2532 he that is called,2564 being free,1658 is Christ's5547 servant.1401

23 You are bought59 with a price;5092 be not you the servants1401 of men.444

24 Brothers,80 let every1538 man, wherein1722 3757 he is called,2564 therein1722 5129 abide3306 with God.2316

25 Now1161 concerning4012 virgins3933 I have2192 no3756 commandment2003 of the Lord:2962 yet1161 I give1325 my judgment,1106 as one that has obtained1653 mercy1653 of the Lord2962 to be faithful.4103

26 I suppose3543 therefore3767 that this5124 is good2570 for the present1764 distress,318 I say, that it is good2570 for a man444 so3779 to be.

27 Are you bound1210 to a wife?1135 seek2212 not to be loosed.3089 Are you loosed3080 from a wife?1135 seek2212 not a wife.1135

28 But and if1437 you marry,1060 you have not sinned;264 and if1437 a virgin3933 marry,1060 she has not sinned.264 Nevertheless1161 such5108 shall have2192 trouble2347 in the flesh:4561 but I spare5339 you.

29 But this5124 I say,5346 brothers,80 the time2540 is short:4958 it remains,2076 3063 that both2532 they that have2192 wives1135 be as though they had2192 none;3361

30 And they that weep,2799 as though they wept2799 not; and they that rejoice,5463 as though they rejoiced5463 not; and they that buy,59 as though they possessed2722 not;

31 And they that use5530 this5127 world,2889 as not abusing2710 it: for the fashion4976 of this5129 world2889 passes3855 away.

32 But I would2309 have you without275 carefulness.275 He that is unmarried22 cares3309 for the things that belong to the Lord,2962 how4459 he may please700 the Lord:2962

33 But he that is married1060 cares3309 for the things that are of the world,2889 how4459 he may please700 his wife.1135

34 There is difference3307 also2532 between3307 a wife1135 and a virgin.3933 The unmarried22 woman1135 cares3309 for the things of the Lord,2962 that she may be holy40 both2532 in body4983 and in spirit:4151 but she that is married1060 cares3309 for the things of the world,2889 how4459 she may please700 her husband.435

35 And this5124 I speak3004 for your5216 own846 profit;4851 not that I may cast1911 a snare1029 on you, but for that which is comely,2158 and that you may attend2145 on the Lord2962 without563 distraction.563

36 But if1487 any5100 man think3543 that he behaves807 himself uncomely807 toward1909 his virgin,3933 if1437 she pass5230 the flower5230 of her age,5230 and need3784 so3779 require,1096 let him do4160 what3739 he will,2309 he sins264 not: let them marry.1060

37 Nevertheless1161 he that stands2476 steadfast1476 in his heart,2588 having2192 no3361 necessity,318 but has2192 power1849 over4012 his own2398 will,2307 and has so5124 decreed2919 in his heart2588 that he will keep5083 his virgin,3933 does4160 well.2573

38 So5620 then2532 he that gives her in marriage1547 does4160 well;2573 but he that gives her not in marriage1547 does4160 better.2573

39 The wife1135 is bound1210 by the law3551 as long5550 as her husband435 lives;2198 but if1437 her husband435 be dead,2837 she is at1657 liberty1658 to be married1060 to whom3739 she will;2309 only3440 in the Lord.2962

40 But she is happier3107 if1437 she so3779 abide,3306 after2596 my judgment:1106 and I think1380 also2504 that I have2192 the Spirit4151 of God.2316

1 Now1161 concerning4012 the things whereof4012 3739 you wrote1125 to me: It is good2570 for a man444 not to touch680 a woman.1135

1 爾遺書問我、我答云、男不納婦更愈、

2 Nevertheless,1161 to avoid1223 fornication,4202 let every1538 man have2192 his own1438 wife,1135 and let every1538 woman have2192 her own2398 husband.435

2 欲免淫、則夫惟一婦、婦惟一夫、

3 Let the husband435 render591 to the wife1135 due3784 benevolence:2133 and likewise3668 also2532 the wife1135 to the husband.435

3 夫與婦宜好合、婦與夫亦然、

4 The wife1135 has not power1850 of her own2398 body,4983 but the husband:435 and likewise3668 also2532 the husband435 has not power1850 of his own2398 body,4983 but the wife.1135

4 婦不得自主其身、惟夫主之、夫亦然、

5 Defraud650 you not one240 the other,240 except1509 it be with consent4859 for a time,2540 that you may give4980 yourselves to fasting3521 and prayer;4335 and come4905 together1909 again,3825 that Satan4567 tempt3985 you not for your5216 incontinency.192

6 我言此、權也、非命也、

7 For I would2309 that all3956 men444 were even2532 as I myself.1683 But every1538 man has2192 his proper2398 gift5486 of God,2316 one3739 3303 after3779 this3779 manner,3779 and another3588 after3779 that.

7 吾願爾衆如我焉、但人得恩賜於上帝、各有不同、

8 I say3004 therefore1161 to the unmarried22 and widows,5503 It is good2570 for them if1437 they abide3306 even2504 as I.

8 論曠夫嫠婦、我云、可恆如我焉、

9 But if1487 they cannot3756 contain,1467 let them marry:1060 for it is better2909 to marry1060 than2228 to burn.4448

9 不能自制、嫁娶可也、與其慾爍、毋寕嫁娶、

10 And to the married1060 I command,3853 yet not I, but the Lord,2962 Let not the wife1135 depart5562 from her husband:435

10 已嫁已娶者、我更有言論爾、不第吾言之、主亦曰、婦不可離夫、

11 But and if1437 she depart,5562 let her remain3306 unmarried 22or2228 be reconciled2644 to her husband:435 and let not the husband435 put863 away863 his wife.1135

11 若離之、則無他從、仍與夫和、夫亦不可去婦、

12 But to the rest3062 speak3004 I, not the Lord:2962 If1487 any1536 brother80 has2192 a wife1135 that believes571 not, and she be pleased4909 to dwell3611 with him, let him not put863 her away.863

12 更有說焉、非主命、第余言耳、如兄弟有婦不信主、彼喜同居、則勿去之、

13 And the woman1135 which3748 has2192 an husband435 that believes571 not, and if he be pleased4909 to dwell3611 with her, let her not leave863 him.

13 婦有夫不信主、彼喜同居、亦勿去之、

14 For the unbelieving571 husband435 is sanctified37 by the wife,1135 and the unbelieving571 wife1135 is sanctified37 by the husband:435 else1893 686 were your5216 children5043 unclean;169 but now3568 are they holy.40

14 蓋不信主之夫、以信主之婦聖、不信主之婦、以信主之夫聖、不然、生子不潔、今俱聖矣、

15 But if1487 the unbelieving571 depart,5562 let him depart.5562 A brother80 or2228 a sister79 is not under bondage1402 in such5108 cases: but God2316 has called2564 us to peace.1515

15 不信者欲去則可、兄弟姊妹、皆得自主、上帝召我以和、

16 For what5101 know1492 you, O wife,1135 whether1487 you shall save4982 your husband?435 or2228 how5101 know1492 you, O man,435 whether1487 you shall save4982 your wife?1135

16 婦焉知不可救夫、夫焉知不可救婦、

17 But as God2316 has distributed3307 to every1538 man, as the Lord2962 has called2564 every1538 one, so3779 let him walk.4043 And so3779 ordain1299 I in all3956 churches.1577

17 遵上帝所賦、及主所召者、此人人所當行、吾命諸會亦如是、

18 Is any5100 man called2564 being circumcised?4059 let him not become1986 uncircumcised.1986 Is any5100 called2564 in uncircumcision?203 let him not be circumcised.4059

18 人旣受割禮而見召、則勿廢割禮、未受割禮而見召、則勿受割、

19 Circumcision4061 is nothing,3762 and uncircumcision203 is nothing,3762 but the keeping5084 of the commandments1785 of God.2316

19 割與不割皆無益、惟守上帝命而已、

20 Let every1538 man abide3306 in the same5026 calling2821 wherein1722 3757 he was called.2564

20 人見召時、居於何等、宜守此分、

21 Are you called2564 being a servant?1401 care3199 not for it: but if1499 you may1410 be made1096 free,1658 use5530 it rather.3123

21 爾爲奴而見召、勿以爲奴是慮、若得釋、自專可也、

22 For he that is called2564 in the Lord,2962 being a servant,1401 is the Lord's2962 freeman:558 likewise3668 also2532 he that is called,2564 being free,1658 is Christ's5547 servant.1401

22 凡爲人奴、宗主而見召、是主釋之、不爲人奴而見召、是爲基督僕、

23 You are bought59 with a price;5092 be not you the servants1401 of men.444

23 爾曹爲主所贖、勿爲人奴、

24 Brothers,80 let every1538 man, wherein1722 3757 he is called,2564 therein1722 5129 abide3306 with God.2316

24 故兄弟見召時、居於何等、宜守此分、順上帝意、

25 Now1161 concerning4012 virgins3933 I have2192 no3756 commandment2003 of the Lord:2962 yet1161 I give1325 my judgment,1106 as one that has obtained1653 mercy1653 of the Lord2962 to be faithful.4103

25 論及童身、吾未奉主命、惟沾主恩以爲忠、自言己意、

26 I suppose3543 therefore3767 that this5124 is good2570 for the present1764 distress,318 I say, that it is good2570 for a man444 so3779 to be.

26 我意今時之災、惟守我素爲美、

27 Are you bound1210 to a wife?1135 seek2212 not to be loosed.3089 Are you loosed3080 from a wife?1135 seek2212 not a wife.1135

27 蓋旣娶勿棄、未娶勿求、

28 But and if1437 you marry,1060 you have not sinned;264 and if1437 a virgin3933 marry,1060 she has not sinned.264 Nevertheless1161 such5108 shall have2192 trouble2347 in the flesh:4561 but I spare5339 you.

28 娶無尤、嫁亦無尤、但若輩身遭難、吾不復爾責、

29 But this5124 I say,5346 brothers,80 the time2540 is short:4958 it remains,2076 3063 that both2532 they that have2192 wives1135 be as though they had2192 none;3361

29 兄弟乎、吾言今而後、窘逼之時也、故有妻者、當如無妻、

30 And they that weep,2799 as though they wept2799 not; and they that rejoice,5463 as though they rejoiced5463 not; and they that buy,59 as though they possessed2722 not;

30 哭者、當如無哭、喜者、當如無喜、買者、當如無得、

31 And they that use5530 this5127 world,2889 as not abusing2710 it: for the fashion4976 of this5129 world2889 passes3855 away.

31 享世勿過度、蓋變遷者世故、

32 But I would2309 have you without275 carefulness.275 He that is unmarried22 cares3309 for the things that belong to the Lord,2962 how4459 he may please700 the Lord:2962

32 我欲爾無所慮、無妻者慮主之事、如何悅主、

33 But he that is married1060 cares3309 for the things that are of the world,2889 how4459 he may please700 his wife.1135

33 有妻者慮世之事、如何悅妻、

34 There is difference3307 also2532 between3307 a wife1135 and a virgin.3933 The unmarried22 woman1135 cares3309 for the things of the Lord,2962 that she may be holy40 both2532 in body4983 and in spirit:4151 but she that is married1060 cares3309 for the things of the world,2889 how4459 she may please700 her husband.435

34 婦固與處子異、無夫者慮主之事、欲其體其神成聖、有夫者慮世之事、如何悅夫、

35 And this5124 I speak3004 for your5216 own846 profit;4851 not that I may cast1911 a snare1029 on you, but for that which is comely,2158 and that you may attend2145 on the Lord2962 without563 distraction.563

35 吾言此、爲爾益、非欲陷爾、乃使爾盡其所當然、以殷勤事主、心無紛擾、

36 But if1487 any5100 man think3543 that he behaves807 himself uncomely807 toward1909 his virgin,3933 if1437 she pass5230 the flower5230 of her age,5230 and need3784 so3779 require,1096 let him do4160 what3739 he will,2309 he sins264 not: let them marry.1060

36 若有人思不嫁處子爲恥、年踰及笄、事有可行、則隨所欲、嫁亦無尤、

37 Nevertheless1161 he that stands2476 steadfast1476 in his heart,2588 having2192 no3361 necessity,318 but has2192 power1849 over4012 his own2398 will,2307 and has so5124 decreed2919 in his heart2588 that he will keep5083 his virgin,3933 does4160 well.2573

37 如父堅心、事無所阻、得行其志、定意不嫁之爲美、

38 So5620 then2532 he that gives her in marriage1547 does4160 well;2573 but he that gives her not in marriage1547 does4160 better.2573

38 如是嫁之者美、不嫁之者尤美、

39 The wife1135 is bound1210 by the law3551 as long5550 as her husband435 lives;2198 but if1437 her husband435 be dead,2837 she is at1657 liberty1658 to be married1060 to whom3739 she will;2309 only3440 in the Lord.2962

39 夫在、婦爲夫法所繩、夫死、婦脫夫法、任所欲嫁、惟宗主者乃可、

40 But she is happier3107 if1437 she so3779 abide,3306 after2596 my judgment:1106 and I think1380 also2504 that I have2192 the Spirit4151 of God.2316

40 我意不嫁幸甚、我思所言、感於上帝之神然也、〇
