哥林多前书 7
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
婚姻的问题
7 关于你们信上所提的事，男人不亲近女人倒好。 2 但为了避免淫乱的事，男人当各有自己的妻子，女人也当各有自己的丈夫。 3 丈夫对妻子要尽本分；妻子对丈夫也要如此。 4 妻子对自己的身体没有主张的权柄，权柄在丈夫；丈夫对自己的身体也没有主张的权柄，权柄在妻子。 5 夫妻不可忽略对方的需求，除非为了要专心祷告，在两相情愿下暂时分房；以后仍要同房，免得撒但趁着你们情不自禁而引诱你们。 6 我说这话是出于容忍，不是命令。 7 我愿众人像我一样；但是各人都有来自 神的恩赐，一个是这样，一个是那样。
8 我对没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，他们若能维持独身像我一样就好。 9 但他们若不能自制，就应该嫁娶，与其欲火攻心，倒不如结婚为妙。
10 至于那已经嫁娶的，我吩咐他们—其实不是我，而是主吩咐的：妻子不可离开丈夫， 11 若是离开了，不可再嫁，不然要跟丈夫复和；丈夫也不可离弃妻子。
12 我对其余的人说—是我，不是主说—倘若某弟兄有不信的妻子，妻子也情愿和他一起生活，他就不可离弃妻子。 13 妻子有不信的丈夫，丈夫也情愿和她一起生活，她就不可离弃丈夫。 14 因为不信的丈夫会因着妻子成了圣洁；不信的妻子也会因着丈夫[a]成了圣洁。不然，你们的儿女就不洁净了，但现在他们是圣洁的。 15 倘若那不信的人要离开，就由他离开吧！无论是弟兄是姊妹，遇着这样的事都不必拘束。 神召你们原是要你们和睦。 16 你这作妻子的怎么知道不能救你的丈夫呢？你这作丈夫的怎么知道不能救你的妻子呢？
照蒙召时的身份生活
17 无论如何，要照主所分给各人的恩赐和 神所召各人的情况生活。我在各教会里都是这样规定的。 18 有人受割礼后才蒙召，他就不必除去割礼的记号。有人未受割礼前蒙召，他就不必受割礼。 19 受割礼算不了什么，不受割礼也算不了什么，只要谨守 神的诫命就是了。 20 各人蒙召的时候是什么身份，要守住这身份。 21 你是作奴隶时蒙召的吗？不要介意；若能获得自由，就争取自由更好。 22 因为，蒙主呼召的奴仆是主所释放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴仆。 23 你们是重价买来的；不要作人的奴仆。 24 弟兄们，你们各人蒙召的时候是什么身份，要在 神面前守住这身份。
未婚和寡居
25 关于未婚女子，我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜悯、作为一个可信靠的人，把自己的意见告诉你们。 26 因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如安于现状。 27 你已经有了妻子，就不要求摆脱；你还没有妻子，就不要想娶妻。 28 你若娶妻，并不是犯罪；未婚女子若出嫁，也不是犯罪。然而，这等人会遭受肉身上的苦难，我宁愿你们免受这苦难。
29 弟兄们，我是说：时候不多了。从此以后，那有妻子的，要像没有一样； 30 哀哭的，不像在哀哭；快乐的，不像在快乐；购买的，像一无所得； 31 享受这世界的，不像在享受这世界；因为这世界的局面将要过去了。
32 我愿你们一无挂虑。没有结婚的是为主的事挂虑，想怎样令主喜悦； 33 结了婚的是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样让妻子喜悦， 34 于是，他就分心了。没有结婚的和未婚的女子是为主的事挂虑，为要身体和心灵都圣洁；已经出嫁的是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样让丈夫喜悦。 35 我说这话是为你们的益处，不是要限制你们，而是要你们做合宜的事，得以不分心地对主忠诚。
36 若有人认为自己待他的女儿[b]不合宜，女儿也过了适婚年龄[c]，他可以随意处理，不算有罪，让两人结婚就是了。 37 倘若有人心里坚定，没有不得已的事，并且由得自己作主，心里又决定了不让女儿结婚[d]，这样做也好。 38 这样看来，让自己的女儿结婚[e]固然是好，不让她结婚更好。
39 丈夫活着的时候，妻子是受约束的；丈夫若长眠了，妻子就自由了，可以随意再嫁，只是要嫁给主里面的人。 40 然而，按我的意见，她若能守节就更有福气。我想我自己也有 神的灵的感动。
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.
1 Corinthians 7
New King James Version
Principles of Marriage
7 Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me:
(A)It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 3 (B)Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 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. 5 (C)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 (D)Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 But I say this as a concession, (E)not as a commandment. 7 For (F)I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: (G)It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but (H)if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Keep Your Marriage Vows
10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the (I)Lord: (J)A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.
12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise (K)your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us (L)to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will (M)save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
Live as You Are Called
17 But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And (N)so I [a]ordain in all the churches. 18 Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? (O)Let him not be circumcised. 19 (P)Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but (Q)keeping the commandments of God is what matters. 20 Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called. 21 Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it. 22 For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is (R)the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is (S)Christ’s slave. 23 (T)You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. 24 Brethren, let each one remain with (U)God in that state in which he was called.
To the Unmarried and Widows
25 Now concerning virgins: (V)I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one (W)whom the Lord in His mercy has made (X)trustworthy. 26 I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress—(Y)that it is good for a man to remain as he is: 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you.
29 But (Z)this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none, 30 those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess, 31 and those who use this world as not (AA)misusing it. For (AB)the form of this world is passing away.
32 But I want you to be without [b]care. (AC)He who is unmarried [c]cares for the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord. 33 But he who is married cares about the things of the world—how he may please his wife. 34 There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman (AD)cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband. 35 And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.
36 But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his [d]virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry. 37 Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his [e]virgin, does well. 38 (AE)So then he who gives [f]her in marriage does well, but he who does not give her in marriage does better.
39 (AF)A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, (AG)only in the Lord. 40 But she is happier if she remains as she is, (AH)according to my judgment—and (AI)I think I also have the Spirit of God.
