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

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.

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

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 concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is.

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

For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed.I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters.For they say,“ His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.”

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

Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached?If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord.

I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.

And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord?If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.This is my defense to those who would examine me.

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

Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
