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

因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如守素安常才好。

因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如安于现状。

因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如安于现状。

鉴于目前时势艰难，我认为各人最好是安于现状。

为了目前的困难，我认为人最好能保持现状。

实际上，由于现今的艰难，我认为一个人保持现状是合宜的，这才是好的。

因現今的艱難，據我看來，人不如守素安常才好。

因現今的艱難，據我看來，人不如安於現狀。

因現今的艱難，據我看來，人不如安於現狀。

鑒於目前時勢艱難，我認為各人最好是安於現狀。

為了目前的困難，我認為人最好能保持現狀。

我以為最好是：為了現在艱難的緣故、一個人還是守素安常的好。

實際上，由於現今的艱難，我認為一個人保持現狀是合宜的，這才是好的。

我意因今時之艱、守其素者為善、

我意今時之災、惟守我素為美、

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.

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

Now with regard to the issues you wrote about:“ It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”

To the unmarried and widows I say that it is best for them to remain as I am.

“ Do not get married and do not have children here in this land.For I, the LORD, tell you what will happen to the children who are born here in this land and to the men and women who are their mothers and fathers.They will die of deadly diseases. No one will mourn for them. They will not be buried. Their dead bodies will lie like manure spread on the ground. They will be killed in war or die of starvation. Their corpses will be food for the birds and wild animals.

I am saying this for your benefit, not to place a limitation on you, but so that without distraction you may give notable and constant service to the Lord.If anyone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the bloom of youth and it seems necessary, he should do what he wishes; he does not sin. Let them marry.But the man who is firm in his commitment, and is under no necessity but has control over his will, and has decided in his own mind to keep his own virgin, does well.So then, the one who marries his own virgin does well, but the one who does not, does better.

For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days!

Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people.

But Jesus turned to them and said,“ Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.For this is certain: The days are coming when they will say,‘ Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’

But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face difficult circumstances, and I am trying to spare you such problems.
