歌林多前书 7:8 我对着没有嫁娶的和寡妇说,若他们常像我就好。
Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am.
7:27 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。
Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife.
7:28 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。
But if you do marry, you have not sinned; 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.
7:32 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。
I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs--how he can please the Lord.
7:33 娶了妻的,是为世上的事挂虑,想怎样叫妻子喜悦。
But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world--how he can please his wife--
7:34 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。
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. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world--how she can please her husband.
7:35 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,得以殷勤服事主,没有分心的事。
I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.
