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.

論到你們信上所提的事，我說男不近女倒好。

我對着沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，若他們常像我就好。

「你在這地方不可娶妻，生兒養女。因為論到在這地方所生的兒女，又論到在這國中生養他們的父母，耶和華如此說：他們必死得甚苦，無人哀哭，必不得葬埋，必在地上像糞土，必被刀劍和饑荒滅絕；他們的屍首必給空中的飛鳥和地上的野獸作食物。」

我說這話是為你們的益處，不是要牢籠你們，乃是要叫你們行合宜的事，得以殷勤服事主，沒有分心的事。若有人以為自己待他的女兒不合宜，女兒也過了年歲，事又當行，他就可隨意辦理，不算有罪，叫二人成親就是了。倘若人心裏堅定，沒有不得已的事，並且由得自己作主，心裏又決定了留下女兒不出嫁，如此行也好。這樣看來，叫自己的女兒出嫁是好，不叫她出嫁更是好。

因為時候到了，審判要從神的家起首。若是先從我們起首，那不信從神福音的人將有何等的結局呢？

當那些日子，懷孕的和奶孩子的有禍了。

當那些日子，懷孕的和奶孩子的有禍了！因為將有大災難降在這地方，也有震怒臨到這百姓。

耶穌轉身對她們說：「耶路撒冷的女子，不要為我哭，當為自己和自己的兒女哭。因為日子要到，人必說：『不生育的，和未曾懷胎的，未曾乳養嬰孩的，有福了！』

你若娶妻，並不是犯罪；處女若出嫁，也不是犯罪。然而這等人肉身必受苦難，我卻願意你們免這苦難。
