Problemas del matrimonio

7 En cuanto a las cosas de que me escribisteis, bueno le sería al hombre no tocar mujer; 2 pero a causa de las fornicaciones, cada uno tenga su propia mujer, y cada una tenga su propio marido. 3 El marido cumpla con la mujer el deber conyugal, y asimismo la mujer con el marido. 4 La mujer no tiene potestad sobre su propio cuerpo, sino el marido; ni tampoco tiene el marido potestad sobre su propio cuerpo, sino la mujer. 5 No os neguéis el uno al otro, a no ser por algún tiempo de mutuo consentimiento, para ocuparos sosegadamente en la oración; y volved a juntaros en uno, para que no os tiente Satanás a causa de vuestra incontinencia. 6 Mas esto digo por vía de concesión, no por mandamiento. 7 Quisiera más bien que todos los hombres fuesen como yo; pero cada uno tiene su propio don de Dios, uno a la verdad de un modo, y otro de otro.

8 Digo, pues, a los solteros y a las viudas, que bueno les fuera quedarse como yo; 9 pero si no tienen don de continencia, cásense, pues mejor es casarse que estarse quemando.

10 Pero a los que están unidos en matrimonio, mando, no yo, sino el Señor: Que la mujer no se separe del marido; 11 y si se separa, quédese sin casar, o reconcíliese con su marido; y que el marido no abandone a su mujer.(A)

12 Y a los demás yo digo, no el Señor: Si algún hermano tiene mujer que no sea creyente, y ella consiente en vivir con él, no la abandone. 13 Y si una mujer tiene marido que no sea creyente, y él consiente en vivir con ella, no lo abandone. 14 Porque el marido incrédulo es santificado en la mujer, y la mujer incrédula en el marido; pues de otra manera vuestros hijos serían inmundos, mientras que ahora son santos. 15 Pero si el incrédulo se separa, sepárese; pues no está el hermano o la hermana sujeto a servidumbre en semejante caso, sino que a paz nos llamó Dios. 16 Porque ¿qué sabes tú, oh mujer, si quizá harás salvo a tu marido? ¿O qué sabes tú, oh marido, si quizá harás salva a tu mujer?

17 Pero cada uno como el Señor le repartió, y como Dios llamó a cada uno, así haga; esto ordeno en todas las iglesias. 18 ¿Fue llamado alguno siendo circunciso? Quédese circunciso. ¿Fue llamado alguno siendo incircunciso? No se circuncide. 19 La circuncisión nada es, y la incircuncisión nada es, sino el guardar los mandamientos de Dios. 20 Cada uno en el estado en que fue llamado, en él se quede. 21 ¿Fuiste llamado siendo esclavo? No te dé cuidado; pero también, si puedes hacerte libre, procúralo más. 22 Porque el que en el Señor fue llamado siendo esclavo, liberto es del Señor; asimismo el que fue llamado siendo libre, esclavo es de Cristo. 23 Por precio fuisteis comprados; no os hagáis esclavos de los hombres. 24 Cada uno, hermanos, en el estado en que fue llamado, así permanezca para con Dios.

25 En cuanto a las vírgenes no tengo mandamiento del Señor; mas doy mi parecer, como quien ha alcanzado misericordia del Señor para ser fiel. 26 Tengo, pues, esto por bueno a causa de la necesidad que apremia; que hará bien el hombre en quedarse como está. 27 ¿Estás ligado a mujer? No procures soltarte. ¿Estás libre de mujer? No procures casarte. 28 Mas también si te casas, no pecas; y si la doncella se casa, no peca; pero los tales tendrán aflicción de la carne, y yo os la quisiera evitar. 29 Pero esto digo, hermanos: que el tiempo es corto; resta, pues, que los que tienen esposa sean como si no la tuviesen; 30 y los que lloran, como si no llorasen; y los que se alegran, como si no se alegrasen; y los que compran, como si no poseyesen; 31 y los que disfrutan de este mundo, como si no lo disfrutasen; porque la apariencia de este mundo se pasa.

32 Quisiera, pues, que estuvieseis sin congoja. El soltero tiene cuidado de las cosas del Señor, de cómo agradar al Señor; 33 pero el casado tiene cuidado de las cosas del mundo, de cómo agradar a su mujer. 34 Hay asimismo diferencia entre la casada y la doncella. La doncella tiene cuidado de las cosas del Señor, para ser santa así en cuerpo como en espíritu; pero la casada tiene cuidado de las cosas del mundo, de cómo agradar a su marido. 35 Esto lo digo para vuestro provecho; no para tenderos lazo, sino para lo honesto y decente, y para que sin impedimento os acerquéis al Señor.

36 Pero si alguno piensa que es impropio para su hija virgen que pase ya de edad, y es necesario que así sea, haga lo que quiera, no peca; que se case. 37 Pero el que está firme en su corazón, sin tener necesidad, sino que es dueño de su propia voluntad, y ha resuelto en su corazón guardar a su hija virgen, bien hace. 38 De manera que el que la da en casamiento hace bien, y el que no la da en casamiento hace mejor.

39 La mujer casada está ligada por la ley mientras su marido vive; pero si su marido muriere, libre es para casarse con quien quiera, con tal que sea en el Señor. 40 Pero a mi juicio, más dichosa será si se quedare así; y pienso que también yo tengo el Espíritu de Dios.

1 Corinthians 7
English Standard Version

Principles for Marriage

7 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: (A)“It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 (B)The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 (C)Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, (D)so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

6 Now as a concession, (E)not a command, I say this.[a] 7 (F)I wish that all were (G)as I myself am. But (H)each has his own gift from God, (I)one of one kind and one of another.

8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that (J)it is good for them to remain single, (K)as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, (L)they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

10 To the married (M)I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): (N)the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does, (O)she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and (P)the husband should not divorce his wife.

12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. (Q)Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you[b] (R)to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, (S)whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Live as You Are Called

17 Only let each person lead the life[c] (T)that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. (U)This is my rule in (V)all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? (W)Let him not seek circumcision. 19 (X)For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but (Y)keeping the commandments of God. 20 (Z)Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called. 21 Were you a bondservant[d] when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) 22 For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is (AA)a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is (AB)a bondservant of Christ. 23 (AC)You were bought with a price; (AD)do not become bondservants of men. 24 So, brothers,[e] (AE)in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God.

The Unmarried and the Widowed

25 Now concerning[f] the betrothed,[g] (AF)I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as (AG)one who by the Lord's mercy is (AH)trustworthy. 26 I think that in view of the present[h] distress (AI)it is good for a person to remain as he is. 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman[i] marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. 29 This is what I mean, brothers: (AJ)the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30 and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy (AK)as though they had no goods, 31 and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For (AL)the present form of this world is passing away.

32 I want you to be (AM)free from anxieties. (AN)The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, (AO)not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

36 If anyone thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed,[j] if his[k] passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry—it is no sin. 37 But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well. 38 So then he who marries his betrothed (AP)does well, and he who refrains from marriage will do even better.

39 (AQ)A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only (AR)in the Lord. 40 Yet (AS)in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think (AT)that I too have the Spirit of God.
