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

我对着没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，若他们常像我就好。

我对没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，他们若能维持独身像我一样就好。

我对没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，他们若能维持独身像我一样就好。

至于那些未婚的和寡居的，他们若能像我一样就好了。

我现在要对未婚的人和寡妇说，他们若保持像我这样就好了；

我对没有结婚的人和寡妇说，如果他们能像我一样保持现状，对他们来说是好事。

我對着沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，若他們常像我就好。

我對沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，他們若能維持獨身像我一樣就好。

我對沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，他們若能維持獨身像我一樣就好。

至於那些未婚的和寡居的，他們若能像我一樣就好了。

我現在要對未婚的人和寡婦說，他們若保持像我這樣就好了；

對沒有結婚的和寡婦呢、我是說，他們若像我安於素常，這對於他們倒好。

我對沒有結婚的人和寡婦說，如果他們能像我一樣保持現狀，對他們來說是好事。

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。

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.

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

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

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.

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.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.

Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.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.

I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

Now for the matters you wrote about:“ It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”
