Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who has been shown mercy by the Lord to be faithful.
关于童身的人，我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜悯成为忠信的，就提出我的意见。

I consider then that this is good because of the present necessity, that it is good for a man to be as he is.
因现今的艰难，我以为人最好保持现状。

Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek a release. Have you been released from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
你有妻子束缚着么？就不要寻求脱离。你没有妻子束缚着么？就不要寻求妻子。

But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if the virgin marries, she has not sinned; but such ones will have affliction in the flesh, and I am trying to spare you.
但你若娶妻，也不是犯罪；处女若出嫁，也不是犯罪；然而这等人肉身必受苦难，我却愿意你们免受这苦难。

But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened. Henceforth both those who have wives should be as though they had none,
只是弟兄们，我对你们说，时候缩短了。从此以后，那有妻子的，要像没有妻子；

And those who weep as though they did not weep, and those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, and those who buy as though they did not possess,
哀哭的，要像不哀哭；喜乐的，要像不喜乐；置买的，要像无所拥有；

And those who use the world as though they did not abuse it; for the fashion of this world is passing away.
使用世物的，要像不浪费使用；因这世界的样子正在逝去。

But I desire you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
我愿你们无所挂虑。没有娶妻的，是为主的事挂虑，想怎样讨主喜悦；

But he who has married cares for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
娶了妻的，是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样讨妻子喜悦，就分心了。

And is distracted. Both the unmarried woman and the virgin care for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; but she who has married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
未结婚的妇女和守童身的女子，是为着主的事挂虑，要在身体和灵上都圣别；已经出嫁的，是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样讨丈夫喜悦。

But this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a noose upon you but that you may be comely and may wait on the Lord without distraction.
我说这话，是为你们自己的益处；不是要牢笼你们，乃是要叫你们行合宜的事，得以殷勤服事主，没有分心的事。

But if anyone thinks that he is behaving unbecomingly to his virgin daughter, if she is past the bloom of youth and thus it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let them marry.
若有人以为待他的童身女儿不合宜，她也过了华龄，事又当行，他就可随愿办理，不是犯罪，让他们结婚。

But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, and has authority with respect to his own will and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do well.
但他若心里坚定，没有不得已的事，对自己的意思又有主权，心里也决定了留下自己的童身女儿，如此行也好。

So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better.
这样看来，叫自己的童身女儿出嫁是好，不叫她出嫁更是好。

A wife is bound for so long a time as her husband lives; but should the husband fall asleep, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only to one in the Lord.
丈夫活着的时候，妻子是被束缚的；丈夫若睡了，妻子就可以自由，随愿嫁人，只是要嫁在主里的人。

But she is more blessed if she so remains, according to my opinion; but I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
然而，按我的意见，她若守节更是有福；但我想我也有神的灵了。

Hallelujah! / I will give thanks to Jehovah with all my heart / In the council of the upright and in the assembly.
阿利路亚！我要在正直人的聚集中，并在大会中，全心称谢耶和华。

His seed will be mighty on the earth; / The generation of the upright will be blessed.
他的后裔在地上必强盛；正直人的后代必蒙福。

Wealth and riches are in his house, / And his righteousness endures forever.
他家中有资财和财富，他的义存到永远。

Light in the darkness arises to the upright; / They are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
正直人在黑暗中，有光向他出现；他有恩惠，有怜恤，有公义。

It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; / He will maintain his cause in judgment.
施恩与人，借贷与人的，这人必得亨通；他被审判的时候，要诉明自己的冤。

For he will never be moved; / The righteous man will be remembered forever.
因为他永不动摇；义人必被记念，直到永远。

He will not be afraid of evil tidings; / His heart is steadfast, trusting in Jehovah.
他必不怕凶恶的信息；他心坚定，信靠耶和华。

His heart is sustained, he is not afraid, / Until he sees what should happen to his adversaries.
他的心得了扶持，总不惧怕，直到他看见敌人遭报。

He has scattered abroad; he has given to the needy; / His righteousness endures forever; / His horn will be exalted with honor.
他分施周济贫穷；他的义存到永远。他的角必被高举，而有尊荣。

The wicked man will see it and be angry; / He will gnash his teeth and melt away; / The desire of the wicked will perish.
恶人看见便恼恨，必咬牙而融化；恶人的心愿要归灭绝。

Hallelujah! / Praise, you servants of Jehovah, / Praise the name of Jehovah.
阿利路亚！耶和华的仆人哪，你们要赞美，赞美耶和华的名。

Let the name of Jehovah be blessed, / From now and to eternity.
耶和华的名，是当受颂赞的，从今时直到永远。

From the rising of the sun to its setting / The name of Jehovah is to be praised.
从日出之地到日落之处，耶和华的名是应当赞美的。

Jehovah is high above all the nations, / And His glory is above the heavens.
耶和华超乎万国之上，祂的荣耀高过诸天。

Who is like Jehovah our God, / Who has set His throne on high,
谁像耶和华我们的神呢？祂坐在至高之处，

Who humbles Himself to behold / The heavens and the earth?
降卑自己，观看天上地上的事。

He raises the poor from the dust; / From the ash heap He lifts the needy;
祂从灰尘里抬举贫寒人，从粪堆中提拔穷乏人；

That He may seat them with princes, / With the princes of His people.
使他们与尊贵人同坐，就是与祂百姓中的尊贵人同坐。

He causes the barren woman to keep house / As a joyful mother of children. / Hallelujah.
祂使不能生育的妇人安居家中，作多子的快乐母亲。阿利路亚！

When Israel went forth from Egypt, / The house of Jacob from among a people of unintelligible speech,
以色列出了埃及，雅各家离开说异语之民；

Judah became His sanctuary, / Israel, His dominion.
那时犹大成为祂的圣所，以色列成为祂所治理的国。

The sea saw and fled; / The Jordan turned back.
沧海看见就奔逃，约但河也倒流。
