Ang Pag-aasawa
7 Patungkol sa mga bagay na isinulat ninyo sa akin, mabuti para sa isang lalaki na hindi niya hahawakan ang isang babae.
2 Gayunman, upang maiwasan ang pakikiapid, makapag-asawa nawa ang bawat lalaki at gayundin nawa ang bawat babae. 3 Dapat gampanan ng lalaki ang tungkulin niya sa kaniyang asawa at gayundin ang babae sa kaniyang asawa. 4 Ang asawang babae ay walang kapamahalaan sa sarili niyang katawan kundi ang lalaki. Gayundin ang lalaki, wala siyang kapamahalaan sa sarili niyang katawan kundi ang babae. 5 Huwag magkait ang sinuman sa isa’t isa maliban na lang kung napagkasunduan sa ilang panahon. Ito ay upang maiukol ninyo ang inyong sarili sa pag-aayuno at pananalangin. Pagkatapos noon ay magsamang muli upang hindi kayo matukso ni Satanas dahil sa inyong kawalan ng pagpipigil. 6 Ito ay sinasabi ko bilang pagpapahintulot at hindi bilang pag-uutos. 7 Ibig ko sana na ang lahat ng lalaki ay maging tulad ko, ngunit ang bawat isa ay may kani-kaniyang kaloob mula sa Diyos. Ang isa ay may kaloob sa ganitong bagay at ang isa ay may kaloob sa ganoong bagay.
8 Sa mga walang asawa at sa mga balo ay sinasabi ko: Mabuti para sa kanila ang manatili sa kalagayang tulad ko. 9 Ngunit kung hindi sila makapagpigil, hayaan silang mag-asawa sapagkat higit na mabuti ang mag-asawa kaysa mag-alab sa matinding pagnanasa.
10 Sa mga may asawa ay iniuutos ko: Huwag humiwalay ang asawang babae sa kaniyang asawa. Hindi ako ang nag-uutos nito kundi ang Panginoon. 11 Kung siya ay humiwalay, huwag siyang mag-aasawa o kaya ay makipagkasundo siya sa kaniyang asawang lalaki. Huwag palayasin ng asawang lalaki ang kaniyang asawa.
12 Nangungusap ako sa iba, hindi ang Panginoon kundi ako: Kung ang sinumang kapatid na lalaki ay may asawang hindi sumasampalataya, huwag palayasin ng lalaki ang asawang babae. Ito ay kung sumasang-ayonang babae na manahang kasama ng lalaki. 13 Ang babae na may asawang hindi sumasampalataya ay huwag humiwalay sa asawang lalaki. Ito ay kung sumasang-ayon siyang manahang kasama ng babae. 14 Ito ay sapagkat ang asawang lalaki na hindi sumasampalataya ay pinababanal sa pamamagitan ng asawang babae. Ang asawang babae na hindi sumasampalataya ay pinababanal ng asawanglalaki. Kung hindi gayon, ang inyong mga anak ay marurumi, ngunit ngayon sila ay mga banal.
15 Kung ang hindi sumasampalataya ay humiwalay, hayaan siyang humiwalay. Ang kapatid na lalaki o kapatid na babae ay hindi na sa ilalim ng pagpapaalipin sa ganoong kalalagayan. Ngunit tayo ay tinawag ng Diyos na mamuhay sa kapayapaan. 16 Alam mo ba, ikaw na babae, na baka ikaw ang makadala sa iyong asawa patungo sa kaligtasan? Alam mo ba, ikaw na lalaki, na baka ikaw ang makadala sa iyong asawa patungo sa kaligtasan?
17 Ngunit kung ano nga ang itinakda ng Diyos sa bawat tao, mamuhay nawa siya ng ganoon. Kung paano tinawag ng Panginoon ang bawat isa, gayundin ang tagubilin ko sa mga iglesiya. 18 Mayroon bang tinatawag sa pagiging nasa pagtutuli? Huwag siyang maging hindi tuli. Mayroon bang tinatawag sa hindi pagiging nasa pagtutuli? Huwag siyang gawing tuli. 19 Ang pagtutuli ay walang halaga, ang hindi pagtutuli ay walang halaga. Ang mahalaga ay ang pagsunod sa utos ng Diyos. 20 Ang bawat tao ay manatili sa pagkatawag sa kaniya. 21 Tinawag ka ba na alipin? Huwag mong ikabahala iyon. Kung maaari kang maging malaya, gamitin mo ang kalayaang iyon. 22 Ito ay sapagkat siya na tinawag na isang alipin sa Panginoon ay malaya sa Panginoon. Gayundin siya na tinawag na isang malaya sa Panginoon ay isang alipin ni Cristo. 23 Kayo ay biniling may halaga, huwag kayong paalipin sa mga tao. 24 Mga kapatid, ang bawat tao ay panatilihing kasama ng Diyos sa tawag naitinawag sa kaniya.
25 Patungkol sa mga dalaga, wala akong utos na mula sa Diyos, gayunman ay magbibigay ako ng payo bilang isang taong nakatanggap mula sa Diyos ng habag na maging matapat. 26 Dahil sa kasalukuyang pangangailangan, sa aking palagay ay ito ang mabuti. Mabuti para sa isang lalaki ang manatiling ganito. 27 May asawa ka ba? Kung mayroon, huwagmo nang hangaring makipaghiwalay. Hiwalay ka ba sa iyong asawa? Huwag mo nang hangaring mag-asawang muli. 28 Kapag ikaw ay nag-asawa, hindi ka nagkasala. Kapag ang isang dalaga ay nag-asawa, hindi siya nagkasala. Ngunit, ang mga may asawa ay daranas ng kahirapan sa buhay, ngunit ang hangad ko ay makaligtas kayo sa bagay na ito.
29 Mga kapatid, ito ang sasabihin ko: Maikli na ang panahon, kaya mula ngayon, ang mga may asawa ay maging tulad nang mga walang asawa. 30 Ang mga nananangis ay maging parang mga hindi nananangis, ang mga nagagalak ay maging parang mga hindi nagagalak. Ang mga bumibili ay maging parang mga walang naging pag-aari. 31 Ang mga nagtatamasa ng mga bagay sa sanlibutang ito ay maging parang mga hindi nagtamasa ng lubos sapagkat ang kaanyuan ng sanlibutang ito ay lumilipas.
32 Ngunit ibig kong maging malaya kayo sa mga alalahanin. Ang walang asawa ay nagsusumikap sa mga bagay para sa Panginoon, kung papaano niya mabibigyang lugod ang Panginoon. 33 Ang lalaking may asawa ay nagsusumikap sa mga bagay ng sanlibutang ito kung papaano niya mabibigyang lugod ang kaniyang asawa. 34 Magkaiba ang babaeng may asawa at ang babaeng walang asawa. Ang babaeng walang asawa ay nagsusumikap sa mga bagay para sa Panginoon upang siya ay maging banal, kapwa ang kaniyang katawan at ang kaniyang espiritu. Ngunit ang babaeng may asawa ay nagsusumikap sa mga bagay ng sanlibutang ito kung papaano niya mabibigyang lugod ang kaniyang asawa. 35 Sinasabi ko ito para sa inyong ikabubuti, hindi sa inuumangan ko kayo ng patibong kundi upang magawa ninyo ang nararapat. Ito rin ay upang mapaglingkuran ninyo ang Panginoon ng walang anumang nakakagambala.
36 Kung ang isang lalaki ay nag-aakalang hindi nararapat ang kaniyang asal sa babaeng kaniyang magiging asawa, o kung inaakala ng babaeng kaniyang magiging asawa na siya ay nakalagpas na sa kaniyang kabataan o kung inaakala niyang gayon ang dapat na mangyari, gawin na niya ang dapat niyang gawin. Sa bagay na ito ay hindi siya nagkakasala. 37 Ngunit, mabuti ang kaniyang ginagawa kung mayroon siyang paninindigan sa kaniyang puso, hindi dahil sa kinakailangan, kundi dahil sa may kapamahalaan siya sa sarili niyang kalooban. At ito ay pinagpasiyahan niya sa kaniyang puso na panatilihin niyang gayon ang kaniyang magiging asawa. 38 Mabuti kung ang lalaki ay magpakasal, ngunit higit na mabuti kung hindi siya magpakasal.
39 Ang asawang babae ay nakabuklod sa pamamagitan ng batas sa kaniyang asawa hanggang ang lalaki ay nabubuhay. Kapag ang lalaki ay namatay, ang babae ay may kalayaang magpakasal sa sinumang ibig niya, ngunit ito ay dapat ayon sa kalooban ng Panginoon. 40 Kung siya ay mananatiling walang asawa ayon sa aking payo, siya ay higit na masaya at sa aking palagay ang Espiritu ng Diyos ay nasa akin.

1 Corinthians 7
New International Version
Concerning Married Life
7 Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”(A) 2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife,(B) and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time,(C) so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan(D) will not tempt you(E) because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.(F) 7 I wish that all of you were as I am.(G) But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.(H)
8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.(I) 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry,(J) for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.(K) 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband.(L) And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord):(M) If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.(N)
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.(O) 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save(P) your husband?(Q) Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Concerning Change of Status
17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.(R) This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.(S) 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised.(T) 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing.(U) Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(V)
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person;(W) similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.(X) 23 You were bought at a price;(Y) do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(Z)
Concerning the Unmarried
25 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord,(AA) but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy(AB) is trustworthy. 26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.(AC) 27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife.(AD) 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned;(AE) and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short.(AF) From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.(AG)
32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs(AH)—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit.(AI) But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided(AJ) devotion to the Lord.
36 If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong[b] and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning.(AK) They should get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right,(AL) but he who does not marry her does better.[c]
39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives.(AM) But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.(AN) 40 In my judgment,(AO) she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

- 1 Corinthians 7:38 Or 36 If anyone thinks he is not treating his daughter properly, and if she is getting along in years (or if her passions are too strong), and he feels she ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. He should let her get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind to keep the virgin unmarried—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who gives his virgin in marriage does right, but he who does not give her in marriage does better.
