爾娶非罪、處女嫁亦非罪、但若輩身必遭難、願爾免之、

娶無尤、嫁亦無尤、但若輩身遭難吾不復爾責、

爾若娶、非犯罪、童女若嫁、亦非犯罪、但如此之人、身必受難、但我不忍使爾憂愁、

雖然、男娶女嫁、究非罪孽；惟肉身上之苦痛、在所不免；吾欲免爾苦痛耳。

But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

婚姻当受所有人尊重，床也不可玷污，因为神将要审判淫乱和通奸的人。

我希望你们一无挂虑。没有结婚的男人所挂虑的是主的事，是要怎样讨主的喜悦；而结了婚的男人所挂虑的是世界的事，是要怎样讨妻子的喜悦，这样他就分心了。未婚女子和童贞女子挂虑主的事，以致身体和心灵都得以圣洁；而结了婚的妇女挂虑世界的事，是要怎样讨丈夫的喜悦。我说这话是为了你们自己的益处，不是要给你们套上牢笼，而是要你们行事合宜，毫无分心地殷勤服事主。但如果有人认为他对待自己的童贞女儿不合宜，而且女儿也过了花期，事情又该如此行，就当按着自己所愿的去做——他并不是犯罪，应当让两个人结婚。

我求告神为我的灵魂见证：我没有再往哥林多去，是因为顾惜你们。

实际上，由于现今的艰难，我认为一个人保持现状是合宜的，这才是好的。
