因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如守素安常才好。

論及爾所書者、則男不近女為善、

我謂未嫁娶者、與嫠婦、若恆如我則善、

勿於斯土娶妻室、育子女、蓋耶和華論斯土所生子女、及其父母曰、皆遘厲疾而死、無人哀哭、不得瘞埋、將於地上、同乎糞土、見滅於鋒刃饑饉、其尸為飛鳥野獸所食、

我言此為益爾、非縛爾、乃所宜然、俾爾專於事主、心無紛擾、或慮待其處女非宜、妙齡已過、事有當行、隨所欲亦無罪、婚嫁可也、人若堅心而無所迫、自行其志、定意留其處女則為善、如是嫁之者善、不嫁之者尤善、

蓋時至則鞫自上帝之家始、若自我儕始、彼不服上帝福音者、其終將何如哉、

當此之時、妊婦乳婦其有禍乎、

是日也、妊婦乳婦禍矣、蓋其地必有大災、怒及斯民、

耶穌顧之曰、耶路撒冷之女乎、毋為我哭、當為己及子女哭、蓋日將至、人必曰、未妊者、未產者、未哺乳者、福矣、

爾娶非罪、處女嫁亦非罪、但若輩身必遭難、願爾免之、
