然而按我的意见，若常守节更有福气。我也想自己是被神的灵感动了。

然而，按我的意见，她若能守节就更有福气。我想我自己也有上帝的灵的感动。

然而，照我的意见，她若能不再婚就更有福了。我想自己也是受了上帝的灵感动才说这番话的。

然而照我的意见，倘若她能守节，就更有福了。我想我这话也是神的灵感动的。

但是照我的意见，如果她能保持现状，就更蒙福了。我想我也有神的灵。

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 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.

論及童身、我未奉主命、但我既蒙主恩以為忠、即以己意告爾、我思因今時之患難、人能守素安常為美、

我言此、乃所許、非所命也、

主賜我之權、以建爾、非以敗爾、我即因此多誇、亦無愧也、我言此、免爾曹以為我寄書驚爾、有人言、我書嚴厲、及至晤會時、身弱言陋、

論未嫁娶者及寡婦、我曰、若能恆如我、則於彼有益、

天主之道、豈由爾出乎、豈獨臨爾乎、若有人自以為先知、或自以為感於神者、當知我書此以告爾者、乃主之命也、

我自誇而為狂、乃爾使我不得已、蓋爾原當稱譽我、我雖如無有、凡事不亞於至大之使徒、

且當視我主之恆忍、為得救之由、如我愛兄保羅循所賦之之智慧、亦書之以達爾、彼之諸書皆論此事、中有難明、不學者與信不堅者、謬解其意、亦謬解諸經、自取敗亡、

我非使徒乎、我非自由者乎、我非已見我主耶穌基督者乎、爾曹信主、非我之工乎、設他人不以我為使徒、爾當以我為使徒、因爾曹信主、即我為使徒之印證、有詰我者、我即以此答之、

論及爾致書所問我者、我答曰、男不近女為妙、

故凡拒者、非拒人、乃拒天主、即以其聖神賜我儕者、○

我言此、為爾益、非欲絆束爾、乃欲使爾盡其所宜、無所紛擾、以殷勤事主、
