论婚姻
7 关于你们信上所写的事，我认为男人不亲近女人是好的。 2 不过，为了避免发生淫乱的事，男婚女嫁也合情合理。
3 夫妻双方都应当履行自己的义务，过正常的夫妻生活。 4 妻子无权支配自己的身体，丈夫才有权；丈夫也无权支配自己的身体，妻子才有权。 5 夫妻不可亏负彼此的需要，除非双方同意，才可以暂时分房，以便专心祈祷。以后，二人仍要恢复正常的夫妻生活，免得撒旦趁你们情不自禁的时候引诱你们。 6 我这番话是准许你们结婚，并不是命令你们结婚。 7 虽然我希望人人都像我一样独身，但每个人从上帝所领受的恩赐不同，有的是这样，有的是那样。
8 至于那些未婚的和寡居的，他们若能像我一样就好了。 9 但如果他们不能自制，就应该结婚，因为与其欲火攻心还不如结婚为好。 10 我也吩咐那些已婚的人，其实不是我吩咐，而是主吩咐：妻子不可离开丈夫， 11 若是离开了，妻子不可再嫁别人，只能与丈夫复合。丈夫也不可离弃妻子。
12 至于其他的人，主没有吩咐什么，但我要说，如果某弟兄的妻子不信主，但乐意和他同住，他就不应离弃妻子。 13 同样，如果某姊妹的丈夫不信主，但乐意和她同住，她就不应离弃丈夫。 14 因为不信的丈夫因妻子而得以圣洁了。同样，不信的妻子也因丈夫而得以圣洁了。否则你们的孩子就是不洁净的，但如今他们是圣洁的。 15 倘若不信的一方坚持要离开的话，就让他离开好了。无论是弟兄或姊妹遇到这样的事情都不必勉强。上帝呼召我们，原是要我们和睦相处。 16 你这做妻子的，怎么知道不能救你的丈夫呢？你这做丈夫的，怎么知道不能救你的妻子呢？
17 各人应当依照上帝的呼召和安排生活，这是我对各教会的吩咐。 18 如果蒙召时已经受了割礼，不必消除割礼；如果蒙召时没有受割礼，也不必去受割礼。 19 受不受割礼都算不得什么，最要紧的是遵行上帝的诫命。 20 各人应当保持自己蒙召时的身份。 21 如果你蒙召时是奴隶，不必因此而烦恼。不过如果你可以获得自由，也不要放过机会。 22 因为，如果你蒙召信主时是奴隶，现在则是主的自由人；如果你蒙召时是自由人，现在则是基督的奴仆。 23 你们是主用重价买来的，不要做人的奴隶。 24 弟兄姊妹，你们要在上帝面前保持自己蒙召时的身份。
25 关于独身的问题，主并没有给我任何命令，但我既然深受主恩，成为祂忠心的仆人，就向你们提供一些意见。
26 鉴于目前时势艰难，我认为各人最好是安于现状。 27 已经有妻子的，就不要设法摆脱她；还没有妻子的，就不要想着结婚。 28 男婚女嫁并不是犯罪，只是有家室的人总免不了许多人生的苦恼，我是盼望你们能够免去这些苦恼。
29 弟兄们，我告诉你们，时日不多了，从今以后，那些有妻子的，要像没有妻子的； 30 哭泣的，要像不哭泣的；欢喜的，要像不欢喜的；置业的，要像一无所有的。 31 享用世界之物的，不要沉溺其中，因为现今的世界很快就要过去了。
32 我希望你们无牵无挂。未婚的男子可以专心于主的事，想着怎样讨主的喜悦。 33 但已婚的男子挂虑世上的事，想着如何取悦妻子， 34 难免分心。没有丈夫的妇女和处女可以专心于主的事，叫身体和心灵都圣洁；已婚的妇女挂虑世上的事，想着如何取悦丈夫。 35 我这样说是为了你们的好处，不是要束缚你们，是要鼓励你们做合宜的事，好叫你们殷勤、专心事奉主。
36 若有人觉得对待自己的未婚妻有不合宜之处，女方的年纪也够大，自己又情欲难禁，就成全他的心愿，让他们结婚吧！这并不算犯罪。 37 如果这人心里确信自己没有结婚的需要，又能自己作主，打定主意不结婚，这样做也好。 38 所以，与未婚妻完婚是对的，但不结婚则更好。
39 丈夫还活着的时候，妻子必须忠于丈夫。如果丈夫去世了，她就自由了，可以再婚，只是要嫁给信主的弟兄。 40 然而，照我的意见，她若能不再婚就更有福了。我想自己也是受了上帝的灵感动才说这番话的。

7 De quibus autem scripsistis mihi: Bonum est homini mulierem non tangere:
2 propter fornicationem autem unusquisque suam uxorem habeat, et unaquaeque suum virum habeat.
3 Uxori vir debitum reddat: similiter autem et uxor viro.
4 Mulier sui corporis potestatem non habet, sed vir. Similiter autem et vir sui corporis potestatem non habet, sed mulier.
5 Nolite fraudare invicem, nisi forte ex consensu ad tempus, ut vacetis orationi: et iterum revertimini in idipsum, ne tentet vos Satanas propter incontinentiam vestram.
6 Hoc autem dico secundum indulgentiam, non secundum imperium.
7 Volo enim omnes vos esse sicut meipsum: sed unusquisque proprium donum habet ex Deo: alius quidem sic, alius vero sic.
8 Dico autem non nuptis, et viduis: bonum est illis si sic permaneant, sicut et ego.
9 Quod si non se continent, nubant. Melius est enim nubere, quam uri.
10 Iis autem qui matrimonio juncti sunt, praecipio non ego, sed Dominus, uxorem a viro non discedere:
11 quod si discesserit, manere innuptam, aut viro suo reconciliari. Et vir uxorem non dimittat.
12 Nam ceteris ego dico, non Dominus. Si quis frater uxorem habet infidelem, et haec consentit habitare cum illo, non dimittat illam.
13 Et si qua mulier fidelis habet virum infidelem, et hic consentit habitare cum illa, non dimittat virum:
14 sanctificatus est enim vir infidelis per mulierem fidelem, et sanctificata est mulier infidelis per virum fidelem: alioquin filii vestri immundi essent, nunc autem sancti sunt.
15 Quod si infidelis discedit, discedat: non enim servituti subjectus est frater, aut soror in hujusmodi: in pace autem vocavit nos Deus.
16 Unde enim scis mulier, si virum salvum facies? aut unde scis vir, si mulierem salvam facies?
17 Nisi unicuique sicut divisit Dominus, unumquemque sicut vocavit Deus, ita ambulet, et sicut in omnibus ecclesiis doceo.
18 Circumcisus aliquis vocatus est? non adducat praeputium. In praeputio aliquis vocatus est? non circumcidatur.
19 Circumcisio nihil est, et praeputium nihil est: sed observatio mandatorum Dei.
20 Unusquisque in qua vocatione vocatus est, in ea permaneat.
21 Servus vocatus es? non sit tibi curae: sed et si potes fieri liber, magis utere.
22 Qui enim in Domino vocatus est servus, libertus est Domini: similiter qui liber vocatus est, servus est Christi.
23 Pretio empti estis: nolite fieri servi hominum.
24 Unusquisque in quo vocatus est, fratres, in hoc permaneat apud Deum.
25 De virginibus autem praeceptum Domini non habeo: consilium autem do, tamquam misericordiam consecutus a Domino, ut sim fidelis.
26 Existimo ergo hoc bonum esse propter instantem necessitatem, quoniam bonum est homini sic esse.
27 Alligatus es uxori? noli quaerere solutionem. Solutus es ab uxore? noli quaerere uxorem.
28 Si autem acceperis uxorem, non peccasti. Et si nupserit virgo, non peccavit: tribulationem tamen carnis habebunt hujusmodi. Ego autem vobis parco.
29 Hoc itaque dico, fratres: tempus breve est: reliquum est, ut et qui habent uxores, tamquam non habentes sint:
30 et qui flent, tamquam non flentes: et qui gaudent, tamquam non gaudentes: et qui emunt, tamquam non possidentes:
31 et qui utuntur hoc mundo, tamquam non utantur: praeterit enim figura hujus mundi.
32 Volo autem vos sine sollicitudine esse. Qui sine uxore est, sollicitus est quae Domini sunt, quomodo placeat Deo.
33 Qui autem cum uxore est, sollicitus est quae sunt mundi, quomodo placeat uxori, et divisus est.
34 Et mulier innupta, et virgo, cogitat quae Domini sunt, ut sit sancta corpore, et spiritu. Quae autem nupta est, cogitat quae sunt mundi, quomodo placeat viro.
35 Porro hoc ad utilitatem vestram dico: non ut laqueum vobis injiciam, sed ad id, quod honestum est, et quod facultatem praebeat sine impedimento Dominum obsecrandi.
36 Si quis autem turpem se videri existimat super virgine sua, quod sit superadulta, et ita oportet fieri: quod vult faciat: non peccat, si nubat.
37 Nam qui statuit in corde suo firmus, non habens necessitatem, potestatem autem habens suae voluntatis, et hoc judicavit in corde suo, servare virginem suam, bene facit.
38 Igitur et qui matrimonio jungit virginem suam, bene facit: et qui non jungit, melius facit.
39 Mulier alligata est legi quanto tempore vir ejus vivit, quod si dormierit vir ejus, liberata est: cui vult nubat, tantum in Domino.
40 Beatior autem erit si sic permanserit secundum meum consilium: puto autem quod et ego Spiritum Dei habeam.

Consejos matrimoniales
7 Paso ahora a los asuntos que me plantearon por escrito: «Es mejor no tener relaciones sexuales».[a] 2 Pero en vista de tanta inmoralidad, cada hombre debe tener su propia esposa y cada mujer su propio esposo. 3 El hombre debe cumplir su deber conyugal con su esposa e igualmente la mujer con su esposo. 4 La mujer ya no tiene derecho sobre su propio cuerpo, sino su esposo. Tampoco el hombre tiene derecho sobre su propio cuerpo, sino su esposa. 5 No se nieguen el uno al otro, a no ser de común acuerdo y solo por un tiempo, para dedicarse a la oración. No tarden en volver a unirse nuevamente; de lo contrario, pueden caer en tentación de Satanás, por falta de dominio propio. 6 Ahora bien, esto lo digo como una concesión y no como una orden. 7 En realidad, preferiría que todos fueran como yo. No obstante, cada uno tiene de Dios su propio don: este posee uno; aquel, otro.
8 A los solteros y a las viudas les digo que sería mejor que se quedaran como yo. 9 Pero si no pueden dominarse, que se casen, porque es preferible casarse que quemarse de pasión.
10 A los casados doy la siguiente orden (no yo, sino el Señor): que la mujer no se separe de su esposo. 11 Sin embargo, si se separa, que no se vuelva a casar; de lo contrario, que se reconcilie con su esposo. Así mismo, que el hombre no se divorcie de su esposa.
12 A los demás les digo yo (no es mandamiento del Señor): Si algún hermano tiene una esposa que no es creyente y ella consiente en vivir con él, que no se divorcie de ella. 13 Y, si una mujer tiene un esposo que no es creyente y él consiente en vivir con ella, que no se divorcie de él. 14 Porque el esposo no creyente ha sido santificado por la unión con su esposa, y la esposa no creyente ha sido santificada por la unión con su esposo creyente. Si así no fuera, sus hijos serían impuros, mientras que, de hecho, son considerados santos.
15 Sin embargo, si el cónyuge no creyente decide separarse, no se lo impidan. En tales circunstancias, el cónyuge creyente queda sin obligación; Dios nos ha llamado a vivir en paz. 16 ¿Cómo sabes tú, mujer, si acaso salvarás a tu esposo? ¿O cómo sabes tú, hombre, si acaso salvarás a tu esposa?
17 En cualquier caso, cada uno debe vivir conforme a la condición que el Señor le asignó y a la cual Dios lo ha llamado. Esta es la norma que establezco en todas las iglesias. 18 ¿Fue llamado alguno estando ya circuncidado? Que no disimule su condición. ¿Fue llamado alguno sin estar circuncidado? Que no se circuncide. 19 Para nada cuenta estar o no estar circuncidado, lo que importa es cumplir los mandatos de Dios. 20 Que cada uno permanezca en la condición en que estaba cuando Dios lo llamó. 21 ¿Eras esclavo cuando fuiste llamado? No te preocupes, aunque, si tienes la oportunidad de conseguir tu libertad, aprovéchala. 22 Porque el que era esclavo cuando el Señor lo llamó es un liberto del Señor; del mismo modo, el que era libre cuando fue llamado es un esclavo de Cristo. 23 Ustedes fueron comprados por un precio; no se vuelvan esclavos de nadie. 24 Hermanos, cada uno permanezca ante Dios en la condición en que estaba cuando Dios lo llamó.
25 En cuanto a las personas solteras,[b] no tengo ningún mandato del Señor, pero doy mi opinión como quien por la misericordia del Señor es digno de confianza. 26 Pienso que, a causa de la crisis actual, es bueno que cada persona se quede como está. 27 ¿Estás casado? No procures divorciarte. ¿Estás sin esposa? No busques una. 28 Pero si te casas, no pecas; y si una joven[c] se casa, tampoco comete pecado. Sin embargo, los que se casan tendrán que pasar por muchos aprietos[d] y yo quiero evitárselos.
29 Lo que quiero decir, hermanos, es que nos queda poco tiempo. De aquí en adelante los que tienen esposa deben vivir como si no la tuvieran; 30 los que lloran, como si no lloraran; los que se alegran, como si no se alegraran; los que compran algo, como si no lo poseyeran; 31 los que disfrutan de las cosas de este mundo, como si no disfrutaran de ellas; porque este mundo, en su forma actual, está por desaparecer.
32 Yo preferiría que estuvieran libres de preocupaciones. El soltero se preocupa de las cosas del Señor y de cómo agradarlo. 33 Pero el casado se preocupa de las cosas de este mundo y de cómo agradar a su esposa; 34 sus intereses están divididos. La mujer no casada, lo mismo que la joven soltera,[e] se preocupa de las cosas del Señor; se afana por consagrarse al Señor tanto en cuerpo como en espíritu. Pero la casada se preocupa de las cosas de este mundo y de cómo agradar a su esposo. 35 Les digo esto por su propio bien, no para ponerles restricciones, sino para que vivan con decoro y plenamente dedicados al Señor.
36 Si alguno piensa que no está tratando a su prometida[f] como es debido y ella ha llegado ya a su madurez, por lo cual él se siente obligado a casarse, que lo haga. Con eso no peca; que se casen. 37 Pero el que se mantiene firme en su propósito y no está dominado por sus impulsos, sino que domina su propia voluntad y ha resuelto no casarse con su prometida, también hace bien. 38 De modo que el que se casa con su prometida hace bien, pero el que no se casa hace mejor.[g]
39 La mujer está ligada a su esposo mientras él vive; pero si el esposo muere, ella queda libre para casarse con quien quiera, con tal de que sea en el Señor. 40 En mi opinión, ella será más feliz si no se casa y creo que yo también tengo el Espíritu de Dios.

1 Corinthians 7
New International Version
1 Corinthians 7
New International Version
Concerning Married Life
7 Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”(A) 2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife,(B) and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time,(C) so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan(D) will not tempt you(E) because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.(F) 7 I wish that all of you were as I am.(G) But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.(H)
8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.(I) 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry,(J) for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.(K) 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband.(L) And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord):(M) If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.(N)
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.(O) 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save(P) your husband?(Q) Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Concerning Change of Status
17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.(R) This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.(S) 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised.(T) 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing.(U) Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(V)
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person;(W) similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.(X) 23 You were bought at a price;(Y) do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(Z)
Concerning the Unmarried
25 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord,(AA) but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy(AB) is trustworthy. 26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.(AC) 27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife.(AD) 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned;(AE) and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short.(AF) From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.(AG)
32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs(AH)—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit.(AI) But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided(AJ) devotion to the Lord.
36 If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong[b] and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning.(AK) They should get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right,(AL) but he who does not marry her does better.[c]
39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives.(AM) But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.(AN) 40 In my judgment,(AO) she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Footnotes
- 1 Corinthians 7:8 Or widowers
- 1 Corinthians 7:36 Or if she is getting beyond the usual age for marriage
- 1 Corinthians 7:38 Or 36 If anyone thinks he is not treating his daughter properly, and if she is getting along in years (or if her passions are too strong), and he feels she ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. He should let her get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind to keep the virgin unmarried—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who gives his virgin in marriage does right, but he who does not give her in marriage does better.
1 Corinthians 7
King James Version
1 Corinthians 7
King James Version
7 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
