我思因今時之患難、人能守素安常為美、

吾鑒於世難方殷、竊謂能保守獨身、莫善焉。

Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

Times are hard for you right now. So I think it’s good for a man to stay as he is.

I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is.

Because of the present crisis, I think it is best to remain as you are.

Because of the present distress, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

I think, then, that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress— that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, namely, that it is good for a man to be as he is.

Therefore I consider this to be good because of the present distress: It is fine for a man to remain as he is.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress,[ I say], that[ it is] good for a man so to be.

Because of the impending crisis I think it best for you to remain as you are.

Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, that it’s good for a man to remain as he is.

關於你們所寫的事，你們說「男人不碰女人是好事」；

我對沒有結婚的人和寡婦說，如果他們能像我一樣保持現狀，對他們來說是好事。

我說這話是為了你們自己的益處，不是要給你們套上牢籠，而是要你們行事合宜，毫無分心地殷勤服事主。但如果有人認為他對待自己的童貞女兒不合宜，而且女兒也過了花期，事情又該如此行，就當按著自己所願的去做——他並不是犯罪，應當讓兩個人結婚。但如果一個人自己心裡堅定不移，也不出於勉強，又對自己的意願有主權，並且自己心裡已經決定留下自己的童貞女兒，那麼他就做得好。所以，那讓自己的童貞女兒結婚的，做得好；那沒有讓她結婚的，做得更好。

因為時候到了，審判要從神的家開始。如果先從我們開始，那麼，那些不肯信從神福音的人會有什麼樣的結局呢？

在那些日子裡，孕婦和哺乳的女人有禍了！

在那些日子裡，孕婦和哺乳的女人有禍了！因為將有大苦難臨到這地，也有震怒臨到這民。

耶穌轉過身來，對她們說：「耶路撒冷的女兒啊，不要為我哭，而要為你們自己、為你們的兒女哭！看，日子將要來到，那時人們會說：『不能生育、沒有懷過胎和沒有乳養過嬰兒的，是蒙福的！』

不過你如果還是要結婚，並不是犯罪；童貞女子如果結婚，也不是犯罪。不過這樣的人在今生將要受患難，而我顧惜你們。
