對沒有結婚的和寡婦呢、我是說，他們若像我安於素常，這對於他們倒好。

我对着没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，若他们常像我就好。

我对没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，他们若能维持独身像我一样就好。

我对没有嫁娶的和寡妇说，他们若能维持独身像我一样就好。

至于那些未婚的和寡居的，他们若能像我一样就好了。

我现在要对未婚的人和寡妇说，他们若保持像我这样就好了；

我对没有结婚的人和寡妇说，如果他们能像我一样保持现状，对他们来说是好事。

我對着沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，若他們常像我就好。

我對沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，他們若能維持獨身像我一樣就好。

我對沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說，他們若能維持獨身像我一樣就好。

至於那些未婚的和寡居的，他們若能像我一樣就好了。

我現在要對未婚的人和寡婦說，他們若保持像我這樣就好了；

我對沒有結婚的人和寡婦說，如果他們能像我一樣保持現狀，對他們來說是好事。

我謂未嫁娶者、與嫠婦、若恆如我則善、

論曠夫嫠婦、我云、可恆如我焉、

論未嫁娶者及寡婦、我曰、若能恆如我、則於彼有益、

對於尚未結婚之人、及守寡之婦、我則曰以我為法可也。

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 the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

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

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

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

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

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

我願你們一無掛慮。沒有結婚的、掛慮主的事、要怎樣給主喜歡；

心就分了。沒有結婚的婦人和處女、掛慮主的事、要在身體和心靈上奉獻為聖；已經結婚的、掛慮世界的事、要怎樣給丈夫喜歡。我說這話、是為了你們自己的益處，不是要設圈套籠絡你們，乃是要你們溫雅端正、殷勤服事主、而不分心。

我以為最好是：為了現在艱難的緣故、一個人還是守素安常的好。你有妻子束縛着麼？別求解脫了；你得解脫離開妻子了麼？別求得妻子了。

我願意眾人也都像我一樣；只是各人都有自己從上帝來的恩賜，有人這樣，有人那樣。

論到你們信上所寫的問題，我以為男人與女人沒有性接觸的好；
