Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.

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

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

So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows— it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am.

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

But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

我欲爾無所慮、無妻者慮主之事、如何悅主、

婦與童女有別、無夫者慮主之事、欲其身與神皆成聖、有夫者慮世之事、如何悅夫、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、

我思因今時之患難、人能守素安常為美、爾有妻、則勿思離、爾無妻、則勿思娶、

我願眾人皆若我然、但人得恩賜於天主、各有不同、一如此、一如彼焉、○

論及爾致書所問我者、我答曰、男不近女為妙、
