哥林多前书7:25-31
25论到童身的人，我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜恤，能作忠心的人，就把自己的意见告诉你们。26因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如守素安常才好。27你有妻子缠着呢，就不要求脱离。你没有妻子缠着呢，就不要求妻子。28你若娶妻，并不是犯罪。处女若出嫁，也不是犯罪。然而这等人肉身必受苦难。我却愿意你们免这苦难。29弟兄们，我对你们说，时候减少了。从此以后，那有妻子的，要像没有妻子。30哀哭的，要像不哀哭。快乐的，要像不快乐。置买的，要像无有所得。31用世物的，要像不用世物。因为这世界的样子将要过去了。
25Now regarding your question about the young women who are not yet married. I do not have a command from the Lord for them. But the Lord in his mercy has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will share it with you. 26Because of the present crisis,#7:26 Or the pressures of life. I think it is best to remain as you are. 27If you have a wife, do not seek to end the marriage. If you do not have a wife, do not seek to get married. 28But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, those who get married at this time will have troubles, and I am trying to spare you those problems. 29But let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short. So from now on, those with wives should not focus only on their marriage. 30Those who weep or who rejoice or who buy things should not be absorbed by their weeping or their joy or their possessions. 31Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away.
