1CUANTO á las cosas de que me escribisteis, bien es al hombre no tocar mujer.
1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.
2Mas á causa de las fornicaciones, cada uno tenga su mujer, y cada una tenga su marido.
2But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
3El marido pague á la mujer la debida benevolencia; y asimismo la mujer al marido.
3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
4La mujer no tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino el marido: é igualmente tampoco el marido tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino la mujer.
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.
5No os defraudéis el uno al otro, á no ser por algún tiempo de mutuo consentimiento, para ocuparos en la oración: y volved á juntaros en uno, porque no os tiente Satanás á causa de vuestra incontinencia.
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.
6Mas esto digo por permisión, no por mandamiento.
6I say this as a concession, not as a command.
7Quisiera más bien que todos los hombres fuesen como yo: empero cada uno tiene su propio don de Dios; uno á la verdad así, y otro así.
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.
8Digo pues á los solteros y á las viudas, que bueno les es si se quedaren como yo.
8Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.
9Y si no tienen don de continencia, cásense; que mejor es casarse que quemarse.
9But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10Mas á los que están juntos en matrimonio, denuncio, no yo, sino el Señor: Que la mujer no se aparte del marido;
10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
11Y si se apartare, que se quede sin casar, ó reconcíliese con su marido; y que el marido no despida á su mujer.
11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12Y á los demás yo digo, no el Señor: Si algún hermano tiene mujer infiel, y ella consiente en habitar con él, no la despida.
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.
13Y la mujer que tiene marido infiel, y él consiente en habitar con ella, no lo deje.
13And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14Porque el marido infiel es santificado en la mujer, y la mujer infiel en el marido: pues de otra manera vuestros hijos serían inmundos; empero ahora son santos.
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.
15Pero si el infiel se aparta, apártese: que no es el hermano ó la hermana sujeto á servidumbre en semejante caso ; antes á paz nos llamó Dios.
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.
16Porque ¿de dónde sabes, oh mujer, si quizá harás salvo á tu marido? ¿ó de dónde sabes, oh marido, si quizá harás salva á tu mujer?
16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17Empero cada uno como el Señor le repartió, y como Dios llamó á cada uno, así ande: y así enseño en todas las iglesias.
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.
18¿Es llamado alguno circuncidado? quédese circunciso. ¿Es llamado alguno incircuncidado? que no se circuncide.
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.
19La circuncisión nada es, y la incircuncisión nada es; sino la observancia de las mandamientos de Dios.
19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
20Cada uno en la vocación en que fué llamado, en ella se quede.
20Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
21¿Eres llamado siendo siervo? no se te dé cuidado: mas también si puedes hacerte libre, procúralo más.
21Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
22Porque el que en el Señor es llamado siendo siervo, liberto es del Señor: asimismo también el que es llamado siendo libre, siervo es de Cristo.
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.
23Por precio sois comprados; no os hagáis siervos de los hombres.
23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
24Cada uno, hermanos, en lo que es llamado, en esto se quede para con Dios.
24Brothers, each one should remain in the situation he was in when God called him.
25Empero de las vírgenes no tengo mandamiento del Señor; mas doy mi parecer, como quien ha alcanzado misericordia del Señor para ser fiel.
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.
26Tengo, pues, esto por bueno á causa de la necesidad que apremia, que bueno es al hombre estarse así.
26Because of the present crisis, I think it is good for a man to remain as he is.
27¿Estás ligado á mujer? no procures soltarte. ¿Estás suelto de mujer? no procures mujer.
27Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
28Mas también si tomares mujer, no pecaste; y si la doncella se casare, no pecó: pero aflicción de carne tendrán los tales: mas yo os dejo.
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.
29Esto empero digo, hermanos, que el tiempo es corto: lo que resta es, que los que tienen mujeres sean como los que no las tienen;
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;
30Y los que lloran, como los que no lloran; y los que se huelgan, como los que no se huelgan; y los que compran, como los que no poseen;
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;
31Y los que usan de este mundo, como los que no usan: porque la apariencia de este mundo se pasa.
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.
32Quisiera, pues, que estuvieseis sin congoja. El soltero tiene cuidado de las cosas que son del Señor, cómo ha de agradar al Señor:
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.
33Empero el que se casó tiene cuidado de las cosas que son del mundo, cómo ha de agradar á su mujer.
33But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
34Hay asimismo diferencia entre la casada y la doncella: la doncella tiene cuidado de las cosas del Señor, para ser santa así en el cuerpo como en el espíritu: mas la casada tiene cuidado de las cosas del mundo, cómo ha de agradar á su marido.
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.
35Esto empero digo para vuestro provecho; no para echaros lazo, sino para lo honesto y decente, y para que sin impedimento os lleguéis al Señor.
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.
36Mas, si á alguno parece cosa fea en su hija virgen, que pase ya de edad, y que así conviene que se haga, haga lo que quisiere, no peca; cásese.
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.
37Pero el que está firme en su corazón, y no tiene necesidad, sino que tiene libertad de su voluntad, y determinó en su corazón esto, el guardar su hija virgen, bien hace.
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.
38Así que, el que la da en casamiento, bien hace; y el que no la da en casamiento, hace mejor.
38So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.
39La mujer casada está atada á la ley, mientras vive su marido; mas si su marido muriere, libre es: cásese con quien quisiere, con tal que sea en el Señor.
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.
40Empero más venturosa será si se quedare así, según mi consejo; y pienso que también yo tengo Espíritu de Dios.
40In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
