哥林多前书 7
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
7 论到你们信上所提的事，我说男不近女倒好。 2 但要免淫乱的事，男子当各有自己的妻子，女子也当各有自己的丈夫。 3 丈夫当用合宜之分待妻子，妻子待丈夫也要如此。 4 妻子没有权柄主张自己的身子，乃在丈夫；丈夫也没有权柄主张自己的身子，乃在妻子。 5 夫妻不可彼此亏负，除非两相情愿，暂时分房，为要专心祷告方可；以后仍要同房，免得撒旦趁着你们情不自禁，引诱你们。 6 我说这话原是准你们的，不是命你们的。 7 我愿意众人像我一样，只是各人领受神的恩赐一个是这样，一个是那样。
论嫁娶的事
8 我对着没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，若他们常像我就好。 9 倘若自己禁止不住，就可以嫁娶。与其欲火攻心，倒不如嫁娶为妙。 10 至于那已经嫁娶的，我吩咐他们——其实不是我吩咐，乃是主吩咐说：“妻子不可离开丈夫， 11 若是离开了，不可再嫁，或是仍同丈夫和好。丈夫也不可离弃妻子。” 12 我对其余的人说（不是主说）：倘若某弟兄有不信的妻子，妻子也情愿和他同住，他就不要离弃妻子； 13 妻子有不信的丈夫，丈夫也情愿和她同住，她就不要离弃丈夫。 14 因为不信的丈夫就因着妻子成了圣洁，并且不信的妻子就因着丈夫[a]成了圣洁；不然，你们的儿女就不洁净，但如今他们是圣洁的了。 15 倘若那不信的人要离去，就由他离去吧！无论是弟兄，是姐妹，遇着这样的事都不必拘束，神召我们原是要我们和睦。 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 只要照主所分给各人的和神所召各人的而行。我吩咐各教会都是这样。 18 有人已受割礼蒙召呢，就不要废割礼；有人未受割礼蒙召呢，就不要受割礼。 19 受割礼算不得什么，不受割礼也算不得什么，只要守神的诫命就是了。
当各守身份
20 各人蒙召的时候是什么身份，仍要守住这身份。 21 你是做奴仆蒙召的吗？不要因此忧虑。若能以自由，就求自由更好。 22 因为做奴仆蒙召于主的，就是主所释放的人；做自由之人蒙召的，就是基督的奴仆。 23 你们是重价买来的，不要做人的奴仆。 24 弟兄们，你们各人蒙召的时候是什么身份，仍要在神面前守住这身份。
论守童身
25 论到童身的人，我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜恤能做忠心的人，就把自己的意见告诉你们。 26 因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如守素安常才好。 27 你有妻子缠着呢，就不要求脱离；你没有妻子缠着呢，就不要求妻子。 28 你若娶妻，并不是犯罪；处女若出嫁，也不是犯罪。然而这等人肉身必受苦难，我却愿意你们免这苦难。 29 弟兄们，我对你们说，时候减少了。从此以后，那有妻子的，要像没有妻子； 30 哀哭的，要像不哀哭；快乐的，要像不快乐；置买的，要像无有所得； 31 用世物的，要像不用世物；因为这世界的样子将要过去了。 32 我愿你们无所挂虑。没有娶妻的，是为主的事挂虑，想怎样叫主喜悦。 33 娶了妻的，是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样叫妻子喜悦。 34 妇人和处女也有分别。没有出嫁的，是为主的事挂虑，要身体、灵魂都圣洁；已经出嫁的，是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样叫丈夫喜悦。 35 我说这话是为你们的益处，不是要牢笼你们，乃是要叫你们行合宜的事，得以殷勤服侍主，没有分心的事。 36 若有人以为自己待他的女儿不合宜，女儿也过了年岁，事又当行，他就可随意办理，不算有罪，叫二人成亲就是了。 37 倘若人心里坚定，没有不得已的事，并且由得自己做主，心里又决定了留下女儿不出嫁，如此行也好。 38 这样看来，叫自己的女儿出嫁是好，不叫她出嫁更是好。 39 丈夫活着的时候，妻子是被约束的。丈夫若死了，妻子就可以自由，随意再嫁，只是要嫁这在主里面的人。 40 然而按我的意见，若常守节更有福气。我也想自己是被神的灵感动了。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
論婚姻
7 關於你們信上所寫的事，我認為男人不親近女人是好的。 2 不過，為了避免發生淫亂的事，男婚女嫁也合情合理。
3 夫妻雙方都應當履行自己的義務，過正常的夫妻生活。 4 妻子無權支配自己的身體，丈夫才有權；丈夫也無權支配自己的身體，妻子才有權。 5 夫妻不可虧負彼此的需要，除非雙方同意，才可以暫時分房，以便專心祈禱。以後，二人仍要恢復正常的夫妻生活，免得撒旦趁你們情不自禁的時候引誘你們。 6 我這番話是准許你們結婚，並不是命令你們結婚。 7 雖然我希望人人都像我一樣獨身，但每個人從上帝所領受的恩賜不同，有的是這樣，有的是那樣。
8 至於那些未婚的和寡居的，他們若能像我一樣就好了。 9 但如果他們不能自制，就應該結婚，因為與其慾火攻心還不如結婚為好。 10 我也吩咐那些已婚的人，其實不是我吩咐，而是主吩咐：妻子不可離開丈夫， 11 若是離開了，妻子不可再嫁別人，只能與丈夫復合。丈夫也不可離棄妻子。
12 至於其他的人，主沒有吩咐什麼，但我要說，如果某弟兄的妻子不信主，但樂意和他同住，他就不應離棄妻子。 13 同樣，如果某姊妹的丈夫不信主，但樂意和她同住，她就不應離棄丈夫。 14 因為不信的丈夫因妻子而得以聖潔了。同樣，不信的妻子也因丈夫而得以聖潔了。否則你們的孩子就是不潔淨的，但如今他們是聖潔的。 15 倘若不信的一方堅持要離開的話，就讓他離開好了。無論是弟兄或姊妹遇到這樣的事情都不必勉強。上帝呼召我們，原是要我們和睦相處。 16 你這作妻子的，怎麼知道不能救你的丈夫呢？你這作丈夫的，怎麼知道不能救你的妻子呢？
17 各人應當依照上帝的呼召和安排生活，這是我對各教會的吩咐。 18 如果蒙召時已經受了割禮，不必消除割禮；如果蒙召時沒有受割禮，也不必去受割禮。 19 受不受割禮都算不得什麼，最要緊的是遵行上帝的誡命。 20 各人應當保持自己蒙召時的身分。 21 如果你蒙召時是奴隸，不必因此而煩惱。不過如果你可以獲得自由，也不要放過機會。 22 因為，如果你蒙召信主時是奴隸，現在則是主的自由人；如果你蒙召時是自由人，現在則是基督的奴僕。 23 你們是主用重價買來的，不要做人的奴隸。 24 弟兄姊妹，你們要在上帝面前保持自己蒙召時的身分。
25 關於獨身的問題，主並沒有給我任何命令，但我既然深受主恩，成為祂忠心的僕人，就向你們提供一些意見。
26 鑒於目前時勢艱難，我認為各人最好是安於現狀。 27 已經有妻子的，就不要設法擺脫她；還沒有妻子的，就不要想著結婚。 28 男婚女嫁並不是犯罪，只是有家室的人總免不了許多人生的苦惱，我是盼望你們能夠免去這些苦惱。
29 弟兄們，我告訴你們，時日不多了，從今以後，那些有妻子的，要像沒有妻子的； 30 哭泣的，要像不哭泣的；歡喜的，要像不歡喜的；置業的，要像一無所有的。 31 享用世界之物的，不要沉溺其中，因為現今的世界很快就要過去了。
32 我希望你們無牽無掛。未婚的男子可以專心於主的事，想著怎樣討主的喜悅。 33 但已婚的男子掛慮世上的事，想著如何取悅妻子， 34 難免分心。沒有丈夫的婦女和處女可以專心於主的事，叫身體和心靈都聖潔；已婚的婦女掛慮世上的事，想著如何取悅丈夫。 35 我這樣說是為了你們的好處，不是要束縛你們，是要鼓勵你們做合宜的事，好叫你們殷勤、專心事奉主。
36 若有人覺得對待自己的未婚妻有不合宜之處，女方的年紀也夠大，自己又情慾難禁，就成全他的心願，讓他們結婚吧！這並不算犯罪。 37 如果這人心裡確信自己沒有結婚的需要，又能自己作主，打定主意不結婚，這樣做也好。 38 所以，與未婚妻完婚是對的，但不結婚則更好。
39 丈夫還活著的時候，妻子必須忠於丈夫。如果丈夫去世了，她就自由了，可以再婚，只是要嫁給信主的弟兄。 40 然而，照我的意見，她若能不再婚就更有福了。我想自己也是受了上帝的靈感動才說這番話的。
1 Corinthians 7
Lexham English Bible
Concerning Christian Marriage
7 Now concerning the things about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to touch[a] a woman.” 2 But because of sexual immorality, let each man have[b] his own wife and let each woman have her own husband. 3 The husband must fulfill his obligation to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband does. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife does. 5 Do not defraud one another, except perhaps by agreement, for a time, in order that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then you should be together[c] again, lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self control. 6 But I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7 I wish all people could be like myself, but each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that way.
8 Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.
10 To the married I command—not I, but the Lord—a wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if indeed she does separate, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 Now to the rest I say—not the Lord—if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if any wife has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce her husband. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother, since otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not bound in such cases. But God has called us[d] in peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live—and thus I order in all the churches. 18 Was anyone called after[e] being circumcised? He must not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called in uncircumcision? He must not become circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. 20 Each one in the calling in which he was called—in this he should remain. 21 Were you called while a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if indeed you are able to become free, rather make use of it. 22 For the one who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedperson. Likewise the one who is called while free is a slave of Christ. 23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. 24 Each one in the situation in which he was called, brothers—in this he should remain with God.
Concerning the Unmarried
25 Now concerning virgins I do not have a command from the Lord, but I am giving an opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy. 26 Therefore, I consider this to be good because of the impending distress, that it is good for a man to be thus. 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek release. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But if you marry, you have not sinned, and if the virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have affliction in the flesh, and I would spare you. 29 But I say this, brothers: the time is shortened, that from now on even those who have wives should be as if they do not have wives, 30 and those who weep as if they do not weep, and those who rejoice as if they do not rejoice, and those who buy as if they do not possess, 31 and those who make use of the world as if they do not make full use of it. For the present form of this world is passing away.
32 But I want you to be free from care. The unmarried person cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. 33 But the one who is married cares for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 34 and he is divided. And the unmarried woman or the virgin cares for the things of the Lord, in order that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the married woman cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 Now I am saying this for your own benefit, not that I may put a restriction on you, but to promote appropriate and devoted service to the Lord without distraction.
36 But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime[f] and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry. 37 But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has authority concerning his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well. 38 So then, the one who marries[g] his own virgin does well, and the one who does not marry her will do better.
39 A wife is bound for as long a time as her husband lives. But if her husband dies[h], she is free to marry whomever she wishes, only in the Lord. 40 But she is happier if she remains thus, according to my opinion—and I think I have the Spirit of God.
