¹Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: 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.

²But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each 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 her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

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

⁴The 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.

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 by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of 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 this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

⁶Ale to hovorím ako pripustenie a nie ako nariadenie.

⁷Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from 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.

⁸But I say to the unmarried and to 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 have not continency, 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.

¹⁰But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband

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

¹¹(but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.

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

¹²But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

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

¹³And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

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

¹⁴For 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.

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

¹⁵Yet 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.

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

¹⁶For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

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

¹⁷Only, 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.

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

¹⁸Was any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been 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 each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.

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

²¹Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.

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

²²For 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.

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

²³Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.

²³Kúpení ste za drahú cenu. Nebuďte sluhami ľudí!

²⁴Brethren, let each man, wherein he was 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: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy.

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

²⁶I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, [namely,] that it is good for a man to be as he is.

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 shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would 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 shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may 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 those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those 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 those that use the world, as not using it to the full: 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 to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of 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 is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

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

³⁴and is divided. [So] also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful 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 say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, 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 thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, 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.

³⁷But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching in his own heart, to keep his own virgin [daughter], shall do 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 both he that giveth his own virgin [daughter] in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better.

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

³⁹A 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.

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 abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

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