哥林多前书 7
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
婚姻的問題
7 關於你們信上所提的事:“男人不親近女人倒好。” 2 但為了避免淫亂的事,男人應當各有自己的妻子,女人也應當各有自己的丈夫。 3 丈夫對妻子應該盡他的本分,妻子對丈夫也應當這樣。 4 妻子對自己的身體沒有主權,權在丈夫;照樣,丈夫對自己的身體也沒有主權,權在妻子。 5 夫妻不可彼此虧負,除非為了要專心禱告,雙方才可以同意暫時分房。以後仍要同房,免得撒但趁著你們情不自禁的時候誘惑你們。 6 我說這話是容許你們,並不是命令。 7 我願人人都像我一樣;只是各人有各人從 神得來的恩賜,有人是這樣,有人是那樣。
8 我現在要對未婚的人和寡婦說,他們若保持像我這樣就好了; 9 但如果不能自制,就應當結婚,因為結婚總比慾火焚身好。 10 我要吩咐已婚的人(其實不是我,而是主吩咐的),妻子不可離開丈夫。 11 如果離開了,就不可再嫁,不然,就要跟丈夫復合。丈夫也不可離棄妻子。 12 我要對其餘的人說(是我說的,不是主說的),倘若某弟兄有不信的妻子,而她也情願和他住在一起,他就不要離棄她。 13 如果妻子有不信的丈夫,而他也情願和她住在一起,她也不要離棄丈夫。 14 因為不信的丈夫因著妻子成為聖潔,不信的妻子也因著那個弟兄成為聖潔了。不然,你們的兒女就是不潔淨的,但現在他們都是聖潔的了。 15 如果那不信的要離去,就由他離去吧;在這種情形之下,信主的弟兄或姊妹都不必勉強。 神呼召你們,是要你們和睦。 16 你這作妻子的,你怎麼知道能否救你的丈夫呢?你這作丈夫的,你怎麼知道能否救你的妻子呢?
保持蒙召時的身分
17 不過,主怎樣分給各人, 神怎樣呼召各人,各人就要照著去行事為人。我也這樣吩咐各教會。 18 有人受了割禮而蒙召的嗎?他就不要遮掩割禮的記號。有人未受割禮而蒙召的嗎?他就不要受割禮。 19 割禮算不得甚麼,沒有割禮也算不得甚麼,要緊的是遵守 神的命令。 20 各人蒙召的時候怎樣,他就應當保持原來的情況。 21 你蒙召的時候是作奴僕的嗎?不要為此煩惱。但如果你能夠得到自由,就要把握這機會。 22 因為作奴僕的蒙了主的呼召,就是屬於主的自由人了;照樣,自由的人蒙了呼召,他就是基督的奴僕了。 23 你們是用重價買來的,不要作人的奴僕。 24 弟兄們,你們各人蒙召的時候怎樣,就應當在 神面前保持這原來的情況。
未婚、守獨身、守寡的問題
25 關於未婚的,我沒有主的命令,但我既然蒙了主的憐憫,成為可信靠的人,就把我的意見提出來。 26 為了目前的困難,我認為人最好能保持現狀。 27 你已經有了妻子嗎?就不要想擺脫。你還沒有妻子嗎?就不要去找妻子。 28 如果你娶妻子,這不是犯罪;如果處女出嫁,也不是犯罪。不過,這樣的人要受肉體上的苦難,我卻不願你們受這苦難。 29 弟兄們,我是說時候不多了。從今以後,有妻子的要像沒有妻子的, 30 哀哭的要像不哀哭的,快樂的要像不快樂的,買了東西的要像一無所得的, 31 享用世上百物的要像沒有享用的一樣,因為這世上的情況都要過去。 32 我願你們無所掛慮。沒有娶妻子的人,掛念的是主的事,想怎樣去得主喜悅; 33 但娶了妻子的人是為世上的事掛慮,想怎樣去討妻子的歡心, 34 這樣他就分心了。沒有結婚的婦女和守獨身的女子,掛念的是主的事,好讓身體和心靈都成為聖潔;但結了婚的婦女是為世上的事掛慮,想怎樣去討丈夫的歡心。 35 我說這話,是為了你們自己的益處;我不是要限制你們,而是要你們作合宜的事,一心一意地對主忠誠。
36 如果有人認為是虧待了自己的女朋友,她也過了結婚的年齡,而他覺得應當結婚,他就可以照著自己的意思去作,這不是犯罪;他們應該結婚。 37 但如果他心裡堅決,沒有甚麼不得已的原因,又可以控制自己的意志,決心讓女朋友持守獨身;這樣作也是好的。 38 所以,那跟自己的女朋友結婚的,作得好,那不結婚的,作得更好。(或譯:“36 如果有人認為待自己的女兒不合適,她也過了結婚的年齡,而且應當這樣行,他就可以照著自己的意思去作,讓她們結婚,這不是犯罪。37 但如果他心裡堅定,沒有甚麼不得已的原因,又有權作主,決心留下自己的女兒,這樣作也是好的。38 所以,那讓自己女兒出嫁的,作得好,那不讓女兒出嫁的,作得更好。”)
39 丈夫活著的時候,妻子是受約束的;丈夫若死了,她就可以自由地嫁給她願意嫁的人,只是要嫁給主裡的人。 40 然而照我的意見,倘若她能守節,就更有福了。我想我這話也是 神的靈感動的。
1 Corintieni 7
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Despre căsătorie
7 Cu privire la lucrurile pe care mi le-aţi scris, „este bine pentru un om să nu se atingă de femeie“[a], 2 însă, datorită cazurilor de desfrâu, fiecare bărbat să-şi aibă propria soţie şi fiecare femeie să-şi aibă propriul soţ. 3 Soţul să-şi împlinească datoria faţă de soţie şi, de asemenea, şi soţia faţă de soţ. 4 Soţia nu este stăpână pe trupul ei, ci soţul. Tot astfel, nu soţul este stăpân pe trupul său, ci soţia. 5 Nu vă refuzaţi unul pe altul, decât doar prin înţelegere, pentru un timp, ca să vă dedicaţi (postului şi)[b] rugăciunii, şi apoi fiţi din nou împreună, ca să nu vă ispitească Satan[c] din cauza nestăpânirii voastre. 6 Spun aceasta ca o îngăduinţă, nu ca o poruncă. 7 Eu doresc ca toţi oamenii să fie aşa cum sunt eu, însă fiecare are propriul său dar de la Dumnezeu, unii de un fel, alţii de alt fel.
8 Celor necăsătoriţi şi văduvelor le spun că este bine pentru ei să rămână aşa cum sunt eu. 9 Dar, dacă nu se pot stăpâni, să se căsătorească, pentru că este mai bine să se căsătorească decât să ardă de dorinţă. 10 Celor căsătoriţi le dau această poruncă, nu eu, ci Domnul: soţia nu trebuie să se despartă de soţul ei; 11 dacă se desparte, atunci să rămână necăsătorită sau să se împace cu soţul ei, iar soţul nu trebuie să divorţeze de soţia lui. 12 Celorlalţi vă spun eu, nu Domnul, că, dacă un frate are soţia necredincioasă şi ea vrea să stea cu el, el să nu divorţeze de ea, 13 iar dacă o femeie are soţul necredincios şi el vrea să stea cu ea, ea să nu divorţeze de soţul ei. 14 Căci soţul necredincios este sfinţit[d] prin soţia lui, iar soţia necredincioasă este sfinţită prin fratele, altfel copiii voştri ar fi necuraţi, dar aşa sunt sfinţi. 15 Însă dacă cel necredincios vrea să se despartă, să se despartă. În astfel de circumstanţe, fratele sau sora nu sunt legaţi. Dumnezeu v-a chemat la pace. 16 Căci ce ştii tu, soţie, dacă-ţi vei mântui soţul? Sau ce ştii tu, soţule, dacă-ţi vei mântui soţia?
17 Cu toate acestea, fiecare să-şi păstreze în viaţă locul pe care i l-a încredinţat Domnul şi la care l-a chemat Dumnezeu. Aceasta este regula pe care o dau în toate bisericile. 18 Era cineva circumcis atunci când a fost chemat? Să nu-şi ascundă circumcizia! Era cineva necircumcis când a fost chemat? Să nu se circumcidă! 19 Circumcizia nu este nimic, şi necircumcizia nu este nimic, ci importantă este ascultarea de poruncile lui Dumnezeu. 20 Fiecare să rămână în starea în care era atunci când l-a chemat Dumnezeu. 21 Erai sclav când ai fost chemat? Nu te nelinişti! Dar dacă poţi să ajungi liber, foloseşte acea ocazie! 22 Căci sclavul chemat în Domnul este omul liber al Domnului. De asemenea, cel care era liber când a fost chemat este sclavul lui Cristos. 23 Voi aţi fost cumpăraţi cu un preţ; să nu deveniţi sclavi ai oamenilor! 24 Fraţilor, oricare ar fi fost starea în care a fost cineva când a fost chemat, să rămână lângă Dumnezeu!
25 Cu privire la fecioare, n-am nici o poruncă de la Domnul, dar îmi spun părerea, ca unul care, prin îndurarea Domnului, este vrednic de încredere: 26 eu cred că, din cauza necazurilor de acum, este mai bine ca fiecare să rămână în starea în care este. 27 Eşti căsătorit? Nu căuta divorţul! Eşti necăsătorit? Nu căuta soţie! 28 Însă, dacă te căsătoreşti, nu păcătuieşti. De asemenea, dacă o fecioară se căsătoreşte, nu păcătuieşte. Însă cei care se căsătoresc vor avea necazuri ce ţin de această viaţă, iar eu vreau să vă feresc de ele. 29 Fraţilor, ceea ce vreau să spun este că vremea s-a scurtat. De acum, cei ce au soţii ar trebui să trăiască ca şi cum n-ar avea soţii; 30 cei ce plâng – ca şi cum n-ar plânge; cei ce se bucură – ca şi cum nu s-ar bucura; cei ce cumpără – ca şi cum n-ar fi al lor; 31 iar cei ce se folosesc de lumea aceasta – ca şi cum nu s-ar folosi de ea, căci chipul acestei lumi trece. 32 Eu doresc să fiţi fără griji. Cel necăsătorit este preocupat de lucrurile Domnului, de cum anume să-I placă Domnului, 33 însă cel căsătorit este preocupat de lucrurile acestei lumi, de cum anume să-i placă soţiei, 34 astfel că el este împărţit. Femeia necăsătorită şi fecioara sunt preocupate de lucrurile Domnului, de cum să fie sfinte în trup şi în duh; dar cea căsătorită este preocupată de lucrurile lumii, de cum să-i placă soţului. 35 Vă spun acestea pentru binele vostru, nu ca să pun peste voi un laţ, ci ca să trăiţi corect, într-un devotament neîmpărţit faţă de Domnul.
36 Însă dacă cineva crede că se comportă nepotrivit faţă de logodnica lui[e] şi dacă ea a trecut de vârsta căsătoriei[f], iar el simte că ar trebui să se căsătorească[g], atunci să facă după cum vrea – nu păcătuieşte, să se căsătorească[h]! 37 Însă oricine este convins în inima lui şi nu este constrâns, ci îşi ţine dorinţele sub control şi a hotărât în inima lui să nu se căsătorească cu logodnica sa[i] – şi acesta face bine. 38 Deci cel care se căsătoreşte cu logodnica[j] sa[k] face bine, iar cel care nu se căsătoreşte[l] face şi mai bine.
39 O femeie nu este liberă atâta timp cât trăieşte soţul ei, dar, dacă soţul ei moare, ea este liberă să se căsătorească cu cine doreşte, dar în Domnul. 40 Însă, după părerea mea, ar fi mult mai fericită dacă ar rămâne aşa cum este. Şi cred că şi eu am Duhul lui Dumnezeu.

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.

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
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.
