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.

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.

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.

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 I want to say something about virgins. I have no direct command from the Lord. But I give my opinion. Because of the Lord’s mercy, I give it as one who can be trusted.Times are hard for you right now. So I think it’s good for a man to stay as he is.

I say those things to you as my advice, not as a command.

Do I brag too much about the authority the Lord gave me? If I do, it’s because I want to build you up, not tear you down. And I’m not ashamed of that kind of bragging.Don’t think that I’m trying to scare you with my letters.Some say,“ His letters sound important. They are powerful. But in person he doesn’t seem like much. And what he says doesn’t amount to anything.”

I speak now to those who are not married. I also speak to widows. It is good for you to stay single like me.

Or did the word of God begin with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?Suppose anyone thinks they are a prophet. Or suppose they think they have other gifts given by the Holy Spirit. They should agree that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.

I have made a fool of myself. But you made me do it. You should have praised me. Even though I am nothing, I am in no way less important than the“ super- apostles.”

Remember that while our Lord is waiting patiently to return, people are being saved. Our dear brother Paul also wrote to you about this. God made him wise to write as he did.Paul writes the same way in all his letters. He speaks about what I have just told you. His letters include some things that are hard to understand. People who don’t know better and aren’t firm in the faith twist what he says. They twist the other Scriptures too. So they will be destroyed.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus our Lord? Aren’t you the result of my work for the Lord?Others may not think of me as an apostle. But I am certainly one to you! You are the proof that I am the Lord’s apostle.That is what I say to stand up for myself when people judge me.

Now I want to deal with the things you wrote me about. Some of you say,“ It is good for a man not to sleep with a woman.”

Suppose someone refuses to accept our teaching. They are not turning their back on us. They are turning their back on God. This same God gives you his Holy Spirit.

I’m saying those things for your own good. I’m not trying to hold you back. I want you to be free to live in a way that is right. I want you to give yourselves completely to the Lord.
