Mga Katanungan tungkol sa Pag-aasawa
7 Tungkol naman sa inyong sulat, ganito ang masasabi ko: Mabuti sa isang tao na huwag makipagtalik[a]. 2 Ngunit dahil sa lumalaganap na pakikiapid, bawat lalaki o babae ay dapat magkaroon ng sariling asawa. 3 Dapat tuparin ng lalaki ang tungkulin niya sa kanyang asawa, at gayundin naman ang babae. 4 Sapagkat hindi na ang babae ang may karapatan sa sarili niyang katawan kundi ang kanyang asawa. Gayundin naman, hindi na ang lalaki ang may karapatan sa sarili niyang katawan kundi ang kanyang asawa. 5 Huwag ninyong ipagkait ang inyong sarili sa isa't isa, maliban na lamang kung napagkasunduan ninyong huwag munang magsiping sa maikling panahon upang maiukol ninyo ang inyong mga sarili sa pananalangin. Ngunit pagkatapos, muli kayong magsiping upang hindi kayo matukso ni Satanas dahil sa hindi na kayo makapagpigil.
6 Ang sinabi ko'y hindi utos kundi pag-unawa sa inyong kalagayan. 7 Nais ko sanang ang bawat isa ay makatulad ko. Ngunit ang bawat tao'y may kanya-kanyang kaloob mula sa Diyos at ang mga ito'y hindi pare-pareho.
8 Ito naman ang masasabi ko sa mga walang asawa at sa mga biyuda: mabuti pa sa kanila ang manatiling katulad ko na walang asawa. 9 Ngunit kung hindi sila makapagpigil sa sarili, mag-asawa na lang sila; mas mabuting mag-asawa kaysa hindi makapagpigil sa matinding pagnanasa.
10 Sa(A) mga may asawa, ito ang iniuutos ng Panginoon, hindi ako: huwag makipaghiwalay ang babae sa kanyang asawa. 11 Ngunit kung siya'y hihiwalay, manatili siyang walang asawa, o kaya'y muling makipagkasundo sa kanyang asawa. At huwag din namang hihiwalayan ng lalaki ang kanyang asawa.
12 Sa iba naman, ito ang sinasabi ko, ako ang nagsasabi at hindi ang Panginoon: kung ang isang lalaking mananampalataya ay may asawang di-mananampalataya at nais nitong patuloy na makisama sa kanya, huwag niya itong hiwalayan. 13 Kung ang isang babaing sumasampalataya ay may asawang hindi sumasampalataya at nais ng lalaking magpatuloy ng pakikisama sa kanya, huwag siyang makipaghiwalay. 14 Sapagkat ang lalaking hindi pa sumasampalataya ay itinatalaga sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang asawa, at ang babaing hindi pa sumasampalataya ay itinatalaga sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang asawa. Kung hindi gayon ay magiging marumi sa paningin ng Diyos ang kanilang mga anak; ngunit ang totoo, ang mga ito ay itinatalaga sa Diyos. 15 Kung nais namang humiwalay ng asawang di-mananampalataya sa kanyang asawang sumasampalataya, hayaan ninyo siyang humiwalay. Sa gayong mga pagkakataon, ang naturang kapatid ay malaya. Tinawag kayo ng Diyos upang mamuhay nang mapayapa. 16 Anong malay ninyo, mga babae, baka kayo ang maging kasangkapan sa ikaliligtas ng inyong asawa? At kayong mga lalaki, anong malay ninyo, baka kayo ang maging kasangkapan sa ikaliligtas ng inyong asawa?
Magpatuloy sa Dating Kalagayan sa Buhay
17 Mamuhay ang bawat isa ayon sa ipinagkaloob sa kanya ng Panginoon, at magpatuloy sa dati niyang kalagayan noong siya'y tawagin ng Diyos. Ito ang itinuturo ko sa lahat ng iglesya. 18 Kung(B) ang isang lalaki ay tuli na nang siya'y tawagin ng Diyos, huwag na niyang alisin ang mga palatandaan ng kanyang pagiging tuli. At kung hindi naman siya tuli nang tawagin, huwag na siyang mag-asam na magpatuli pa. 19 Hindi mahalaga kung ang isang tao ay tuli o hindi; subalit ang mahalaga ay ang pagsunod sa mga utos ng Diyos. 20 Manatili ang bawat isa sa kalagayan niya nang siya'y tawagin ng Diyos. 21 Ikaw ba'y isang alipin nang tawagin ka ng Diyos? Huwag kang mag-alala tungkol doon. Ngunit kung may pagkakataon kang maging isang malaya, samantalahin mo.[b] 22 Ang taong alipin nang tawagin ng Panginoon ay malaya na dahil sa Panginoon. Gayundin naman, ang taong malaya nang siya'y tawagin ni Cristo ay naging alipin ni Cristo. 23 Nabili na at bayád na kayo; huwag na kayong paalipin sa mga tao. 24 Mga kapatid, anuman ang kalagayan ninyo sa buhay nang kayo'y tawagin, manatili kayo roong kasama ng Diyos.
Tungkol sa mga Walang Asawa at mga Biyuda
25 Tungkol naman sa mga walang asawa, wala akong maibibigay na utos mula sa Panginoon. Ngunit magbibigay ako ng aking opinyon bilang isang taong dahil sa habag ng Diyos ay mapagkakatiwalaan.
26 Dahil sa matinding kahirapan sa kasalukuyan, inaakala kong mabuti pa sa isang tao ang manatili sa kanyang kalagayan. 27 Ikaw ba'y isang lalaking may asawa na? Huwag kang makipaghiwalay. Wala ka pa bang asawa? Huwag mo nang hangaring magkaasawa. 28 Ngunit kung ikaw ay mag-aasawa, hindi ka nagkakasala. Kung ang isang dalaga[c] ay mag-asawa, hindi rin siya nagkakasala. Ngunit ang nag-aasawa ay magdaranas ng mga kahirapan sa buhay na ito, at iyan ang nais kong maiwasan ninyo.
29 Mga kapatid, ito ang ibig kong sabihin: malapit na ang wakas ng panahon, kaya't mula ngayon, ang may asawa ay mamuhay na parang walang asawa; 30 ang mga nananangis, na parang di nananangis; ang mga nagagalak, na parang di nagagalak; ang mga bumibili, na parang walang ari-arian, 31 at ang mga gumagamit ng mga bagay ng sanlibutan, na para bang hindi nangangailangang gamitin ang mga ito. Sapagkat ang lahat ng bagay sa daigdig na ito'y hindi na magtatagal.
32 Nais kong mailayo kayo sa mga alalahanin sa buhay. Ang pinagkakaabalahan ng lalaking walang asawa ay ang mga gawaing ukol sa Panginoon—kung paano niya mabibigyan ng kaluguran ang Panginoon. 33 Ngunit ang pinagkakaabalahan ng lalaking may asawa ay ang mga bagay ng sanlibutang ito—kung paano niya mabibigyang kaluguran ang kanyang asawa. 34 Dahil dito'y hati ang kanyang malasakit. Gayundin naman, ang pinagkakaabalahan ng isang babaing walang asawa o ng isang dalaga ay ang mga bagay ukol sa Panginoon, sapagkat nais niyang maitalaga ang kanyang katawan at espiritu sa Panginoon. Subalit ang pinagkakaabalahan ng babaing may-asawa ay ang mga bagay ng sanlibutang ito—kung paano niya mabibigyang kaluguran ang kanyang asawa.
35 Sinasabi ko ito upang matulungan kayo. Hindi ko kayo hinihigpitan; ang nais ko'y maakay kayo sa maayos na pamumuhay at nang lubusan kayong makapaglingkod sa Panginoon.
36 Kung inaakala ng isang lalaki na nagkakaroon siya ng masidhing pagnanasa sa kanyang katipan, at dahil dito'y kailangang pakasal sila, pakasal na sila. Ito ay hindi kasalanan. 37 Ngunit kung ipinasya niyang huwag pakasalan ang kanyang kasintahan at hindi naman siya napipilitan lamang at siya'y may lubusang pagpipigil sa sarili, mabuti ang ganitong kapasyahan. 38 Kaya nga, mabuti ang magpasyang pakasalan ang kanyang kasintahan, ngunit mas mabuti ang hindi mag-asawa.[d]
39 Ang babae ay nakatali sa kanyang asawa habang nabubuhay ito. Kapag namatay ang lalaki, ang babae ay malaya nang mag-asawa sa sinumang maibigan niya, ngunit dapat ay sa isa ring nananampalataya sa Panginoon. 40 Subalit sa aking palagay, higit siyang magiging maligaya kung mananatili siya sa kanyang kalagayan bilang biyuda. Iyan ang palagay ko, at sa palagay ko nama'y nasa akin din ang Espiritu ng Diyos.

Hindi ito kasalanan. 37 Mas mabuti pang magpigil sa sarili at magpasya na huwag pag-asawahin ng ama ang kanyang anak na dalaga. 38 Kaya nga, mabuti na ipakasal ng ama ang anak na dalaga, ngunit lalong mabuti ang ito’y hindi pag-asawahin .

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.

- 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.
