Berean Standard Bible
1περι δε ων εγραψατε μοι καλον ανθρωπω γυναικοσ μη απτεσθαι
1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.
2δια δε τασ πορνειασ εκαστοσ την εαυτου γυναικα εχετω και εκαστη τον ιδιον ανδρα εχετω
2But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
3τη γυναικι ο ανηρ την οφειλομενην ευνοιαν αποδιδοτω ομοιωσ δε και η γυνη τω ανδρι
3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
4η γυνη του ιδιου σωματοσ ουκ εξουσιαζει αλλ ο ανηρ ομοιωσ δε και ο ανηρ του ιδιου σωματοσ ουκ εξουσιαζει αλλ η γυνη
4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5μη αποστερειτε αλληλουσ ει μητι αν εκ συμφωνου προσ καιρον ινα σχολαζητε τη νηστεια και τη προσευχη και παλιν επι το αυτο συνερχησθε ινα μη πειραζη υμασ ο σατανασ δια την ακρασιαν υμων
5Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
6τουτο δε λεγω κατα συγγνωμην ου κατ επιταγην
6I say this as a concession, not as a command.
7θελω γαρ παντασ ανθρωπουσ ειναι ωσ και εμαυτον αλλ εκαστοσ ιδιον χαρισμα εχει εκ θεου οσ μεν ουτωσ οσ δε ουτωσ
7I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
8λεγω δε τοισ αγαμοισ και ταισ χηραισ καλον αυτοισ εστιν εαν μεινωσιν ωσ καγω
8Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.
9ει δε ουκ εγκρατευονται γαμησατωσαν κρεισσον γαρ εστιν γαμησαι η πυρουσθαι
9But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10τοισ δε γεγαμηκοσιν παραγγελλω ουκ εγω αλλ ο κυριοσ γυναικα απο ανδροσ μη χωρισθηναι
10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
11εαν δε και χωρισθη μενετω αγαμοσ η τω ανδρι καταλλαγητω και ανδρα γυναικα μη αφιεναι
11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12τοισ δε λοιποισ εγω λεγω ουχ ο κυριοσ ει τισ αδελφοσ γυναικα εχει απιστον και αυτη συνευδοκει οικειν μετ αυτου μη αφιετω αυτην
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13και γυνη ητισ εχει ανδρα απιστον και αυτοσ συνευδοκει οικειν μετ αυτησ μη αφιετω αυτον
13And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14ηγιασται γαρ ο ανηρ ο απιστοσ εν τη γυναικι και ηγιασται η γυνη η απιστοσ εν τω ανδρι επει αρα τα τεκνα υμων ακαθαρτα εστιν νυν δε αγια εστιν
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15ει δε ο απιστοσ χωριζεται χωριζεσθω ου δεδουλωται ο αδελφοσ η η αδελφη εν τοισ τοιουτοισ εν δε ειρηνη κεκληκεν ημασ ο θεοσ
15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.
16τι γαρ οιδασ γυναι ει τον ανδρα σωσεισ η τι οιδασ ανερ ει την γυναικα σωσεισ
16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17ει μη εκαστω ωσ εμερισεν ο θεοσ εκαστον ωσ κεκληκεν ο κυριοσ ουτωσ περιπατειτω και ουτωσ εν ταισ εκκλησιαισ πασαισ διατασσομαι
17Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.
18περιτετμημενοσ τισ εκληθη μη επισπασθω εν ακροβυστια τισ εκληθη μη περιτεμνεσθω
18Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.
19η περιτομη ουδεν εστιν και η ακροβυστια ουδεν εστιν αλλα τηρησισ εντολων θεου
19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
20εκαστοσ εν τη κλησει η εκληθη εν ταυτη μενετω
20Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
21δουλοσ εκληθησ μη σοι μελετω αλλ ει και δυνασαι ελευθεροσ γενεσθαι μαλλον χρησαι
21Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
22ο γαρ εν κυριω κληθεισ δουλοσ απελευθεροσ κυριου εστιν ομοιωσ και ο ελευθεροσ κληθεισ δουλοσ εστιν χριστου
22For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.
23τιμησ ηγορασθητε μη γινεσθε δουλοι ανθρωπων
23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
24εκαστοσ εν ω εκληθη αδελφοι εν τουτω μενετω παρα θεω
24Brothers, each one should remain in the situation he was in when God called him.
25περι δε των παρθενων επιταγην κυριου ουκ εχω γνωμην δε διδωμι ωσ ηλεημενοσ υπο κυριου πιστοσ ειναι
25Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
26νομιζω ουν τουτο καλον υπαρχειν δια την ενεστωσαν αναγκην οτι καλον ανθρωπω το ουτωσ ειναι
26Because of the present crisis, I think it is good for a man to remain as he is.
27δεδεσαι γυναικι μη ζητει λυσιν λελυσαι απο γυναικοσ μη ζητει γυναικα
27Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
28εαν δε και γημησ ουχ ημαρτεσ και εαν γημη η παρθενοσ ουχ ημαρτεν θλιψιν δε τη σαρκι εξουσιν οι τοιουτοι εγω δε υμων φειδομαι
28But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29τουτο δε φημι αδελφοι ο καιροσ συνεσταλμενοσ το λοιπον εστιν ινα και οι εχοντεσ γυναικασ ωσ μη εχοντεσ ωσιν
29What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
30και οι κλαιοντεσ ωσ μη κλαιοντεσ και οι χαιροντεσ ωσ μη χαιροντεσ και οι αγοραζοντεσ ωσ μη κατεχοντεσ
30those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;
31και οι χρωμενοι τω κοσμω τουτω ωσ μη καταχρωμενοι παραγει γαρ το σχημα του κοσμου τουτου
31and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
32θελω δε υμασ αμεριμνουσ ειναι ο αγαμοσ μεριμνα τα του κυριου πωσ αρεσει τω κυριω
32I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.
33ο δε γαμησασ μεριμνα τα του κοσμου πωσ αρεσει τη γυναικι
33But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
34μεμερισται και η γυνη και η παρθενοσ η αγαμοσ μεριμνα τα του κυριου ινα η αγια και σωματι και πνευματι η δε γαμησασα μεριμνα τα του κοσμου πωσ αρεσει τω ανδρι
34and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.
35τουτο δε προσ το υμων αυτων συμφερον λεγω ουχ ινα βροχον υμιν επιβαλω αλλα προσ το ευσχημον και ευπροσεδρον τω κυριω απερισπαστωσ
35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.
36ει δε τισ ασχημονειν επι την παρθενον αυτου νομιζει εαν η υπερακμοσ 5230 A-NSM και ουτωσ οφειλει γινεσθαι ο θελει ποιειτω ουχ αμαρτανει γαμειτωσαν
36However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.
37οσ δε εστηκεν εδραιοσ εν τη καρδια μη εχων αναγκην εξουσιαν δε εχει περι του ιδιου θεληματοσ και τουτο κεκρικεν εν τη καρδια αυτου του τηρειν την εαυτου παρθενον καλωσ ποιει
37But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.
38ωστε και ο εκγαμιζων καλωσ ποιει ο δε μη εκγαμιζων κρεισσον ποιει
38So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.
39γυνη δεδεται νομω εφ οσον χρονον ζη ο ανηρ αυτησ εαν δε και κοιμηθη ο ανηρ ελευθερα εστιν ω θελει γαμηθηναι μονον εν κυριω
39A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, as long as he belongs to the Lord.
40μακαριωτερα δε εστιν εαν ουτωσ μεινη κατα την εμην γνωμην δοκω δε καγω πνευμα θεου εχειν
40In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
