我謂未嫁娶者、與嫠婦、若恆如我則善、

論曠夫嫠婦、我云、可恆如我焉、

論未嫁娶者及寡婦、我曰、若能恆如我、則於彼有益、

對於尚未結婚之人、及守寡之婦、我則曰以我為法可也。

Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.

I speak now to those who are not married. I also speak to widows. It is good for you to stay single like me.

To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am.

So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows— it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am.

I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.

But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

我願你們無所掛慮。沒有娶妻的，是為主的事掛慮，想怎樣叫主喜悅。 (cunpt)

婦人和處女也有分別。沒有出嫁的，是為主的事掛慮，要身體、靈魂都聖潔；已經出嫁的，是為世上的事掛慮，想怎樣叫丈夫喜悅。我說這話是為你們的益處，不是要牢籠你們，乃是要叫你們行合宜的事，得以殷勤服事主，沒有分心的事。 (cunpt)

因現今的艱難，據我看來，人不如守素安常才好。你有妻子纏着呢，就不要求脫離；你沒有妻子纏着呢，就不要求妻子。 (cunpt)

我願意眾人像我一樣；只是各人領受神的恩賜，一個是這樣，一個是那樣。 (cunpt)

論到你們信上所提的事，我說男不近女倒好。 (cunpt)
