¹Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

¹A čo do toho, o čom ste mi písali, dobre by bolo človekovi nedotýkať sa ženy.

²Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

²Ale pre smilstvá nech má každý svoju vlastnú ženu, a každá nech má svojho vlastného muža.

³Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

³Muž nech preukazuje žene povinnú dobroprajnosť a podobne aj žena mužovi.

⁴The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

⁴Žena nemá v moci svojho vlastného tela, ale muž; a podobne ani muž nemá v moci svojho vlastného tela, ale žena.

⁵Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

⁵Neukracujte sa navzájom, iba ak čo z obapolného súhlasu na čas, aby ste stihli na pôst a na modlitbu, a zase sa vedno sídite, aby vás nepokúšal satan pre vašu nezdržanlivosť.

⁶But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

⁶Ale to hovorím ako pripustenie a nie ako nariadenie.

⁷For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

⁷Lebo by som chcel, aby boli všetci ľudia ako i ja sám; ale každý má svoj vlastný dar od Boha, jeden tak a druhý inak.

⁸I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

⁸A však hovorím neženatým, nevydatým a vdovám, že dobre im, keď zostanú jako i ja.

⁹But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

⁹Ale ak sa nevedia zdržať, nech sa oženia, poťažne vydajú, lebo je lepšie oženiť sa, poťažne vydať sa než horieť.

¹⁰And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

¹⁰A ženatým, poťažne vydatým, prikazujem, nie ja, ale Pán: Žena nech neodchádza od muža.

¹¹But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

¹¹A keby aj odišla, nech zostane nevydatá, alebo nech sa smieri s mužom. A muž nech neopúšťa ženy.

¹²But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

¹²A ostatným hovorím ja, nie Pán: Ak má niektorý brat neveriacu ženu, a volí bývať s ním, nech jej neopúšťa.

¹³And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

¹³A zase žena, ktorá má neveriaceho muža, a on volí bývať s ňou, nech neopúšťa muža.

¹⁴For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

¹⁴Lebo neveriaci muž je posvätený ženou, a neveriaca žena je posvätená mužom, bratom. Ináče by vaše deti boly nečisté, ale teraz sú sväté.

¹⁵But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

¹⁵Ale ak neveriaci ide ta, nech ide. V takých veciach brat alebo sestra nie je rabom, ale ku pokoju nás povolal Bôh.

¹⁶For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

¹⁶Lebo veď čo ty vieš, ženo, či zachrániš muža? Alebo čo ty vieš, mužu, či zachrániš ženu?

¹⁷But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

¹⁷Každý len tak, ako mu udelil Pán, každý, jako ho povolal Bôh, tak nech chodí, robí a žije. A tak nariaďujem vo všetkých sboroch.

¹⁸Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

¹⁸Je niekto povolaný obrezaný? Nech neberie na seba neobrezanosti. Je ktosi povolaný v neobriezke, nech sa neobrezuje.

¹⁹Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

¹⁹Obriezka nie je ničím, ani neobriezka nie je ničím, ale zachovávanie prikázaní Božích.

²⁰Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

²⁰Každý nech zostáva v povolaní, v ktorom je povolaný.

²¹Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

²¹Si povolaný jako sluha? Nedbaj na to; ale ak tiež môžeš byť slobodný, radšej použi.

²²For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

²²Lebo v Pánovi povolaný sluha je oslobodený Pánov; podobne aj povolaný slobodný je sluha Kristov.

²³Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

²³Kúpení ste za drahú cenu. Nebuďte sluhami ľudí!

²⁴Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

²⁴Každý, v čom je povolaný, bratia, v tom nech zostáva u Boha.

²⁵Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

²⁵O pannách nemám nariadenia Pánovho, ale poviem, čo myslím, ako taký, ktorý dostal milosrdenstvo od Pána byť verným.

²⁶I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

²⁶Nazdám sa tedy, že je to dobré pre terajšie ťažkosti, že je dobré človekovi, aby bol takto.

²⁷Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

²⁷Si priviazaný k žene? Nehľadaj rozviazania. Si rozviazaný, prostý ženy? Nehľadaj ženy.

²⁸But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

²⁸Ale keby si sa oženil, nezhrešil si. A keby sa panna vydala, nezhrešila; ale takí budú mať trápenie v tele. No, ja vás šetrím.

²⁹But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

²⁹Ale to hovorím, bratia, že čas je krátky, aby ostatne aj tí, ktorí majú ženy, boli, jako keby ich nemali;

³⁰And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

³⁰a ktorí plačú, jako čo by neplakali; a ktorí sa radujú, jako čo by sa neradovali; a ktorí kupujú, jako čo by tým nevládli;

³¹And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

³¹a ktorí používajú tento svet, ako takí, ktorí nezneužívajú. Lebo ta ide spôsob tohoto sveta.

³²But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

³²A chcel by som, aby ste boli bez starostí. Neženatý stará sa o to, čo je Pánovo, jako by sa ľúbil Pánovi;

³³But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

³³ale ten, kto sa oženil, stará sa o veci sveta, jako by sa ľúbil žene.

³⁴There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

³⁴A je rozdiel aj medzi ženou a pannou. Nevydatá sa stará o to, čo je Pánovo, aby bola svätá i telom i duchom; ale tá, ktorá sa vydala, stará sa o veci sveta, jako by sa ľúbila mužovi.

³⁵And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

³⁵Ale to hovorím na váš vlastný užitok, nie aby som vám zahodil slučku na krk, ale aby ste sa slušne a stále pridŕžali Pána bez rozptýlenia mysle.

³⁶But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

³⁶Ale ak niekto myslí, že neslušne robí voči svojej dcére - panne, ak by mala nevydatá prejsť svoj kvetúci vek, a jestli treba, aby sa tak stalo, nech urobí, čo chce, nehreší; nech sa vydajú.

³⁷Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

³⁷Ale ten, kto stojí pevný vo svojom srdci a nie je nútený, ale má moc ohľadom svojej vlastnej vôle a usúdil to vo svojom srdci, zachovať svoju pannu, dobre robí.

³⁸So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

³⁸A tak tedy i ten, kto vydáva svoju pannu, dobre robí, i ten, kto nevydáva, lepšie robí.

³⁹The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

³⁹Žena je viazaná zákonom, dokiaľ žije jej muž; ale keby zosnul jej muž, je slobodná a môže sa vydať, za koho chce, len nech je to v Pánovi.

⁴⁰But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

⁴⁰Ale je blahoslavenejšia, keď zostane tak, podľa mojej mienky. A nazdám sa, že i ja mám Ducha Božieho.
