Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1論到你們信上所提的事， 我說 男不近女倒好。
2But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
2但要免淫亂的事，男子當各有自己的妻子；女子也當各有自己的丈夫。
3Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.
3丈夫當用合宜之分待妻子；妻子待丈夫也要如此。
4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
4妻子沒有權柄主張自己的身子，乃在丈夫；丈夫也沒有權柄主張自己的身子，乃在妻子。
5Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.
5夫妻不可彼此虧負，除非兩相情願，暫時分房，為要專心禱告方可；以後仍要同房，免得撒但趁着你們情不自禁，引誘你們。
6But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.
6我說這話，原是准 你們 的，不是命 你們 的。
7For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.
7我願意眾人像我一樣；只是各人領受上帝的恩賜，一個是這樣，一個是那樣。
8But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.
8我對着沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，若他們常像我就好。
9But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.
9倘若自己禁止不住，就可以嫁娶。與其慾火攻心，倒不如嫁娶為妙。
10But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.
10至於那已經嫁娶的，我吩咐他們；其實不是我吩咐，乃是主吩咐說：妻子不可離開丈夫，
11And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.
11若是離開了，不可再嫁，或是仍同丈夫和好。丈夫也不可離棄妻子。
12For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
12我對其餘的人說（不是主說）：倘若某弟兄有不信的妻子，妻子也情願和他同住，他就不要離棄妻子。
13And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
13妻子有不信的丈夫，丈夫也情願和她同住，她就不要離棄丈夫。
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.
14因為不信的丈夫就因着妻子成了聖潔，並且不信的妻子就因着丈夫成了聖潔。不然，你們的兒女就不潔淨，但如今他們是聖潔的了。
15But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
15倘若那不信的人要離去，就由他離去吧！無論是弟兄，是姊妹，遇着這樣的事都不必拘束。上帝召我們原是要我們和睦。
16For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
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？
17But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
17只要照主所分給各人的，和上帝所召各人的而行。我吩咐各教會都是這樣。
18Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
18有人已受割禮蒙召呢，就不要廢割禮；有人未受割禮蒙召呢，就不要受割禮。
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.
19受割禮算不得甚麼，不受割禮也算不得甚麼，只要守上帝的誡命就是了。
20Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
20各人蒙召的時候是甚麼身分，仍要守住這身分。
21Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
21你是作奴隸蒙召的嗎？不要因此憂慮；若能以自由，就求自由更好。
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
22因為作奴僕蒙召於主的，就是主所釋放的人；作自由之人蒙召的，就是基督的奴僕。
23You are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.
23你們是重價買來的，不要作人的奴僕。
24Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
24弟兄們，你們各人蒙召的時候是甚麼身分，仍要在上帝面前守住這身分。
25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.
25論到童身的人，我沒有主的命令，但我既蒙主憐恤能作忠心的人，就把自己的意見告訴 你們 。
26I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.
26因現今的艱難，據我看來，人不如守素安常才好。
27Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
27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。
28But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.
28你若娶妻，並不是犯罪；處女若出嫁，也不是犯罪。然而這等人肉身必受苦難，我卻願意你們免這苦難。
29This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;
29弟兄們，我對你們說：時候減少了。從此以後，那有妻子的，要像沒有妻子；
30And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
30哀哭的，要像不哀哭；快樂的，要像不快樂；置買的，要像無有所得；
31And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
31用世物的，要像不用世物，因為這世界的樣子將要過去了。
32But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.
32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。
33But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.
33娶了妻的，是為世上的事掛慮，想怎樣叫妻子喜悅。
34And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
34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。
35And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.
35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。
36But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.
36若有人以為自己待他的女兒不合宜，女兒也過了年歲，事又當行，他就可隨意辦理，不算有罪，叫二人成親就是了。
37For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.
37倘若人心裏堅定，沒有不得已的事，並且由得自己作主，心裏又決定了留下女兒 不出嫁 ，如此行也好。
38Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.
38這樣看來，叫自己的女兒出嫁是好，不叫她出嫁更是好。
39A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
39丈夫活着的時候，妻子是被約束的；丈夫若死了，妻子就可以自由，隨意再嫁，只是要嫁這在主裏面的人。
40But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
40然而按我的意見，若常守節更有福氣。我也想自己是被上帝的靈感動了。
