Afterwards he speaks of virginity, which rises above everything, for laws do not rule over it. Knowing what the Lord taught him about him (Matthew 19:11–12), he was afraid to preach about him himself. But when he saw that people were looking for him (virginity), he became their adviser, and not a mentor, an exhorter, and not a legislator. 1 Corinthians 7:1. And what you wrote about... to me, it’s good for a person... not to touch a woman, 1 Corinthians 7:2. For the sake of fornication, let everyone... have his own wife. 1 Corinthians 7:5. Do not shy away from each other, unless I agree for a while to perform religious duties during fasting and prayer. So, on solemn days, abstain, let not Satan tempt you. But I say this out of condescension, and not by command (1 Cor. 7:6). 1 Cor.7:7. For I wish that every person would be like... myself. Without the command of the Lord, he chose this. But grace is given to everyone from God. And he also called this the commandment of his Lord, (because) not every person has the strength to do this. Said further: since one is like this, and can be justified by this, and the other - in a different way, when it is given to him to reign. or having no wife, namely, those who are widowers or who are widows, It’s good for them if they stay like this, like me. 1 Cor.7:9. And if they don’t... abstain, then let them marry, - for it is better [to] remarry, - rather than being inflamed by lust. 1 Cor.7:10. Those who have entered into marriage, - that is, those who are united by marriage, - the Lord Himself commands: a wife should not separate from her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:11. If she separates, she will remain celibate, if he chooses purity for himself, or... with your husband... reconcile, 1 Corinthians 7:12. If anyone has a wife... who is an idolater [a non-believer], and if a wife wishes to live with her husband, let her live. 1 Cor.7:13. And if any wife has a husband who is not a believer, and he wants to live with his wife, then let him live. If a believing husband thinks that his marriage will be illegal for the sake of an unbelieving wife, then let him know that the seed of an unbelieving husband in the womb of a believing mother is holy; in the same way, the fruit of an unbelieving wife is holy for the sake of a believing husband. And if what I said were not so, then, consequently, their children, if we follow their opinion, would be unclean - but now they are clean if they continue in the faith that I delivered to them (1 Cor. 7:14). 1 Corinthians 7:15. If the unbeliever wants to separate for there is no need or danger for the believer in this. Why does a believing husband know whether he will save his unbelieving wife? or why does a wife know whether she will help her idolater husband take the first steps of faith (1 Cor. 7:16)? 1 Corinthians 7:17. But everyone... how... called... God, that is, how he is found when called to His Gospel, to all... also to the Churches... I command. 1 Cor.7:18. If circumcised... who... is called, Let him not regret at all that he does not have foreskin 13. In the same way, if in uncircumcision and whoever... is called, let him not be circumcised. 1 Corinthians 7:19. For circumcision and uncircumcision are nothing, but keeping the commandments of God. 1 Corinthians 7:21. slave... called... you, don't let that worry you. If... you can still become free, and go out and preach the Gospel, and endure persecution for it, it will be useful for you, then be free. 1 Corinthians 7:22. For... in the Lord... the called... slave... is free due to the very baptism of our Lord; and who free... called... Since this is equivalent, I therefore said that 1 Corinthians 7:24. everyone... in whatever rank... he is called, let him remain in that. 1 Cor.7:25–26. About the virgins the commandments I don’t have, but... I give some advice, as a person who has received... mercy... from God and honored to to be faithful to the Gospel. I think it's better to be that is, it is so easy and convenient for the sake of danger (for) the world. 1 Corinthians 7:28. If you took a wife, do not sin. However, the apostle called this tribulation, because dangers await them according to the flesh. - that is, either the end, or the day of our death, and those who have wives... yes... will be as if they had none. 1 Cor.7:30–31. And those crying, that is, those who are sad, let them be, as not crying, but using let them not fall into luxury with the blessings of the world. If someone has a girl and, after keeping his vow for a certain time, finds out that he is not able (to keep the vow), then for the sake of the time spent he should not be ashamed (1 Cor. 7:36). 1 Corinthians 7:37. Who decided? in his own spirit, and he will not face any danger of wishing to change his mind, and this If he decides in his heart to keep his virgin, he does well. 1 Corinthians 7:38. So, he who gives in marriage... 14 his maiden... does well, and [but] he who does not give away, - that is, who is being held back, Greek literally: “let him not stretch himself” (the part of the foreskin remaining after circumcision).
