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.

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.
Kehillah in Corinth I 7
Orthodox Jewish Bible
7 Now, concerning the things in your iggeret, let’s take up the next inyan (topic): “it is beneficial for a man not to touch an isha” [i.e., postpone the chasunoh (wedding)].
2 But, because of the acts of zenut, let each Ben Adam have his own Isha, and let each Isha have her own Ba’al (Husband).
3 Let the ba’al render the conjugal choiv (debt) to his isha, and likewise also the isha to her ba’al (husband).
4 It is not the isha who has samchut (authority) over her own body, but the ba’al (husband); likewise, also it is not the ba’al (husband) who has samchut over his own body, but the isha.
5 Do not deprive each other, unless by agreement for a set time, that you may renew zerizut (diligence) to tefillah (prayer) and again you may be together, lest Hasatan lead you into nissayon (temptation) because of your lack of shlitah atzmi (self-control). [SHEMOT 19:15; SHMUEL ALEF 21:4,5]
6 But I say this according to concession (T.N. in view of 5:1-5; 6:12-20), not according to [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach’s] mitzvoh.
7 But, I wish kol Bnei Adam even to be as I am; however, [this is impossible since] each has his own matanah (gift) from Hashem: one this; and another that.
8 But, I say to the bochrim and the almanot (widows), it is beneficial for them if they remain as I am;
9 But if they do not have shlitah atzmi, let them marry. For better it is to marry than with Eish to be set ablaze.
10 But to the ones having entered bibrit hanissuim (in covenant of marriage), I charge, not I but Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, an isha is not to separate from her ba’al (husband). [Mal 2:14-16]
11 But, if indeed she is separated, let her remain so, or be reconciled to her basherter; and a ba’al should not leave his isha.
12 But, to the rest I‖Sha’ul‖not Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, say: if any Ach b’Moshiach has an isha who is an Apikoros and she is willing to live with him, let him not leave her;
13 And if an isha has a ba’al (husband) who is an Apikoros, and he is willing to dwell with her, let her not leave her ba’al (husband).
14 For, [T.N. following the principle of bikkurim], the ba’al who is an Apikoros is mekudash b’Ruach Hakodesh (set apart as holy in the Ruach Hakodesh) by the isha, and the isha who is an Apikoros likewise by the Ach b’Moshiach; otherwise, your yeladim are tema’im (unclean); but now they are tehorim (clean). [MALACHI 2:15]
15 But, if the one who is an Apikoros separates and departs, let the separation occur; the Ach b’Moshiach has not been enslaved, or the Achot b’Moshiach in such cases; but Hashem has given you a kri’ah b’shalom.
16 For how do you know, isha, if you will not bring your basherter (destined mate), your ba’al, to Yeshu’at Eloheinu?
17 Only each of you walk the derech [T.N. according to Hashem’s tochnit or etzah Ro 8:28] to which you were called by Hashem (TEHILLIM 1:6). This is my charge in all the kehillot of Moshiach.
18 If as a ben Berit with bris milah anyone received their kri’ah, let him not conceal it; if anyone without bris milah has been called, let him without bris milah not undergo bris milah.
19 Bris milah is not everything; nor is the lack of it; but being shomer mitzvot Hashem.
20 Each one walk the derech of his kri’ah (calling, summons), and remain there.
21 If while a bond servant you were called, do not let it consume you, although if you can gain your deror ("freedom, liberty" VAYIKRA 25:10), do so.
22 For, the one in Hashem having been called while a bond servant is [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Adoneinu’s ben Chorin (freedman); likewise, the one having been called while a ben Chorin is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach’s bond servant.
23 You were bought with a pidyon nefesh price; do not become avadim haBnei Adam.
24 Each one wherever on the derech of Chayyim he was called, Achim b’Moshiach, there let him remain in deveykus with Hashem.
25 Next sugya (topic): concerning the betulot (virgins). A mitzvoh of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu I do not have, but a bit of wisdom I offer as one who by the rachamim Hashem is ne’eman (faithful).
26 I consider therefore, it to be beneficial, because of the impending Crisis (T.N. i.e., the Chevlei Moshiach and eschatological woes preceding the Bias Moshiach) that you remain as you are.
27 Have you entered bibrit hanissuim (in covenant of marriage) with an isha? Do not seek to be free. Are you freed from an isha? Do not seek an isha.
28 But if indeed you enter bibrit hanissuim (in covenant of marriage), there is no chet; and if the betulah (virgin) marries, there is no averah in that for her. But such will have tzoros in the basar, which I am trying to spare you (Mt.24:19).
29 Now this I say, Achim b’Moshiach, the time [until HaKetz] has been shortened. From now on, let those having nashim live as if not having nashim,
30 And let the ones weeping as not weeping, and let the ones having simcha as not having simcha, and let the ones buying as not possessing,
31 And let the ones using the Olam Hazeh as not fully using it, for the present form of the Olam Hazeh is passing away.
32 But I would have you free from atzvat lev (heartache). The ben Adam without isha cares for the things of Hashem, how he may please Hashem.
33 But the one having taken an isha cares for the things of the Olam Hazeh, how he may please his isha,
34 And he has been divided (1:13). Both the isha free of a ba’al or the betulah cares for the things of Hashem, that she may be tehorah spiritually and physically. But the isha with a ba’al cares for the things of the Olam Hazeh, how she may please her ba’al.
35 Now, this I say for your own benefit, not that I may throw a noose on your deror (“freedom” VAYIKRA 25:10), but I speak with respect to what is decent, seemly, and sits well with Hashem, without distraction [in avodas kodesh]. [TEHILLIM 86:11]
36 However, if anyone thnks he does not have proper hitnahagut (conduct) toward the betulah of his eirusin (betrothal, engagement), and if he thinks his basherte (destined mate) is getting along in years, and thus it has to be, what he desires, let him do; there is no chet, let them enter bibrit hanissuim (in convenant of marriage).
37 But he who in his lev has settled the decision, not having the need [of conjugal intimacy], but having mastery concerning his own desire, and thus he in his lev has decided, not to enter bibrit hanissuim with his betulah (virgin), he does well.
38 So then both the one entering bibrit hanissuim with his betulah does well, and the one not entering bebrit hanissuim with his arusah (betrothed) will do better (7:34).
39 An isha has been bound (bibrit hanissuim, in covenant of marriage) for so long a time as her ba’al lives, but if her ba’al should sleep the sleep of the mesim, she is free to enter bibrit hanissuim with the ba’al she desires, but only in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
40 However, happy is she, and even more so, if she remains as she is; and I think in this bit of wisdom I am offering that I have the Ruach Hakodesh.
