我意不嫁更為有福、且思我有上帝之神也、

我意不嫁幸甚、我思所言、感於上帝之神然也、

然我意若能恆守不嫁、更為有福、我言此、自思亦感於天主之神、

然依吾之見、若能守寡、則更為有福；竊思此亦天主聖神之意也。

In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is— and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

In my opinion, she is happier if she stays single. And I also think that I am led by the Spirit of God in saying this.

Yet in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

But in my opinion it would be better for her to stay single, and I think I am giving you counsel from God’s Spirit when I say this.

But in my opinion she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment— and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

But she is happier if she remains as she is, in my opinion. And I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

But in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains as she is– and I think that I too have the Spirit of God!

But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.

Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I do give an opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is faithful.Because of the present distress, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

I say this as a concession, not as a command.

For if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be put to shame.I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.For it is said,“ His letters are weighty and powerful, but his physical presence is weak and his public speaking amounts to nothing.”

I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.

Or did the word of God originate from you, or did it come to you only?If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

I have been a fool; you forced it on me. You ought to have commended me, since I am not in any way inferior to those“ super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.

Also, regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our dear brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.He speaks about these things in all his letters. There are some things hard to understand in them. The untaught and unstable will twist them to their own destruction, as they also do with the rest of the Scriptures.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you, because you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.My defense to those who examine me is this:

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

Consequently, anyone who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

I am saying this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but to promote what is proper and so that you may be devoted to the Lord without distraction.
