1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.이제 여러분이 내게 편지로 물어본 일들에 대해 말하겠습니다. 남자가 여자를 가까이하지 않는 것이 좋습니다.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.그러나 음행이 있으니, 남자마다 자기 아내를 두고, 여자마다 자기 남편을 두십시오.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.남편은 아내에게 마땅히 주어야 할 사랑을 다하고, 아내도 남편에게 그렇게 하십시오.
4 The wife doesn’ t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’ t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.아내가 자기 몸을 주관하지 못하고 남편이 주관하며, 마찬가지로 남편도 자기 몸을 주관하지 못하고 아내가 주관합니다.

Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.나는 모든 사람이 나처럼 되기를 바랍니다. 그러나 각 사람은 하나님께로부터 받은 자기 은사가 있어서, 이 사람은 이러하고 저 사람은 저러합니다.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to 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.결혼하지 않은 사람들과 과부들에게 나는 말합니다. 그들이 나처럼 그대로 지내는 것이 좋습니다.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.그러나 자제할 수 없으면 결혼하십시오. 정욕으로 불타는 것보다 결혼하는 것이 낫습니다.
10 But to the married I command — not I, but the Lord — that the wife not leave her husbandBut unto the married I give charge, yea not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband결혼한 사람들에게 나는 명합니다. 내가 아니라 주께서 명하시는 것입니다. 아내는 남편을 떠나지 마십시오.

13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.또 믿지 않는 남편이 있는 여자가 있는데 그 남편이 함께 살기를 원하면, 그 남편을 떠나지 마십시오.

Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.믿지 않는 남편은 아내로 말미암아 거룩해지고, 믿지 않는 아내는 남편으로 말미암아 거룩해지기 때문입니다. 그렇지 않으면 여러분의 자녀가 깨끗하지 못할 것이나, 이제는 그들이 거룩합니다.
15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us in peace.그러나 믿지 않는 사람이 떠나려 하면 떠나게 하십시오. 그런 경우에 형제나 자매는 매인 것이 아닙니다. 하나님께서는 우리를 화평 가운데로 부르셨습니다.

So I command in all the assemblies.Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.다만 주께서 각 사람에게 나누어 주신 대로, 하나님께서 각 사람을 부르신 그대로 살아가십시오. 나는 모든 교회에서 이렇게 명합니다.

Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’ s bondservant.For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord’ s freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ’ s bondservant.종으로 있을 때에 주 안에서 부르심을 받은 사람은 주께 속한 자유인이요, 마찬가지로 자유인으로 부르심을 받은 사람은 그리스도의 종입니다.

Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.그러나 결혼해도 죄를 짓는 것이 아니며, 처녀가 결혼해도 죄를 짓는 것이 아닙니다. 다만 그런 사람들은 육신에 고난을 당할 것이니, 나는 여러분을 아끼려는 것입니다.

38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’ t give her in marriage does better.So then both he that giveth his own virgin daughter in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better.그러므로 자기의 처녀를 결혼시키는 사람도 잘하는 것이고, 결혼시키지 않는 사람은 더 잘하는 것입니다.
39 A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.아내는 남편이 살아 있는 동안에는 율법으로 매여 있으나, 남편이 죽으면 자기가 원하는 사람과 결혼할 자유가 있습니다. 다만 주 안에서만 그렇게 하십시오.
