1 A za ono što mi pisaste: dobro je čoveku da se ne dohvata do žene: 2 Ali zbog kurvarstva svaki da ima svoju ženu, i svaka žena da ima svog muža; 3 muž da čini ženi dužnu ljubav, tako i žena mužu. 4 Žena nije gospodar od svog tela, nego muž; tako i muž nije gospodar od svog tela, nego žena. 5 Ne zabranjujte se jedno od drugog, već ako u dogovoru za vreme, da se postite i molite Bogu; i opet da se sastanete, da vas sotona ne iskuša vašim neuzdržanjem. 6 Ali ovo govorim po svetu a ne po zapovesti; 7 jer hoću da svi ljudi budu kao i ja; ali svaki ima svoj dar od Boga: ovaj dakle ovako, a onaj onako. 8 A neoženjenim i udovicama velim: dobro im je ako ostanu kao i ja što sam. 9 Ako li se ne uzdrže, neka se žene i udaju; jer je bolje ženiti se negoli upaljivati se. 10 A oženjenim zapovedam, ne ja nego Gospod, da se žena od muža ne razdvaja 11 (ako se se pak i razdvoji, da se više ne udaje, ili da se pomiri sa svojim mužem); i muž da ne pušta ženu. 12 A ostalima govorim ja a ne Gospod: ako koji brat ima ženu nekrštenu i ona se privoli živeti s njim, da je ne ostavlja. 13 I žena ako ima muža nekrštenog i on se privoli živeti s njom, da ga ne ostavlja. 14 Jer se posveti muž nekršten ženom krštenom, i posveti se žena nekrštena od muža krštenog; jer inače deca vaša bila bi nečista, a sad su sveta. 15 Ako li se nekršteni razdvaja, neka se razdvoji; jer se brat ili sestra u takvom događaju ne zarobi; jer nas na mir dozva Gospod Bog. 16 Jer šta znaš, ženo, da ako muža spaseš? Ili šta znaš, mužu, da ako ženu spaseš? 17 Samo kao što je Bog razdelio svakome, i kao što je svakog pozvao Gospod onako neka živi. I tako zapovedam po svim crkvama. 18 Je li ko pozvat obrezan, neka se ne gradi neobrezan; ako li je ko pozvat neobrezan, neka se ne obrezuje. 19 Obrezanje je ništa, i neobrezanje je ništa; nego držanje zapovesti Božijih. 20 Svaki neka ostane u onom zvanju u kome je pozvan. 21 Jesi li pozvan rob, ne brini se; nego ako i možeš svoj biti, još radije budi. 22 Jer koji je pozvan u Gospodu rob, slobodnjak je Gospodnji, tako i koji je pozvan slobodnjak, rob je Hristov. 23 Kupljeni ste skupo, ne budite robovi ljudima. 24 Svaki, braćo, u čemu je ko pozvan u onom neka ostane pred Gospodom. 25 A za devojke nemam zapovesti Gospodnje, nego dajem savet, kao koji sam pomilovan od Gospoda, da budem veran. 26 Mislim dakle ovo da će biti dobro za sadašnju nevolju da je čoveku dobro tako biti. 27 Jesi li se privezao za ženu, ne traži da se razrešiš; jesi li se odrešio od žene, ne traži žene. 28 A ako li se i oženiš, nisi sagrešio; i devojka ako se uda, nije sagrešila: ali će imati takvi nevolje telesne; a ja vas žalim. 29 A ovo govorim, braćo, jer je ostalo vreme prekraćeno, da će i oni koji imaju žene biti kao oni koji nemaju; 30 i koji plaču kao koji ne plaču; i koji se raduju kao koji se ne raduju; i koji kupuju kao koji nemaju; 31 i koji ovaj svet upotrebljavaju kao da ga ne upotrebljavaju: jer prolazi obličje ovog sveta. 32 A ja hoću da ste vi bezbrižni. Ko je neoženjen brine se za Gospodnje, kako će ugoditi Gospodu; 33 a koji je oženjen brine se za svetsko, kako će ugoditi ženi. Drugo je žena, a drugo je devojka. 34 Koja je neudata brine se za Gospodnje, kako će ugoditi Gospodu, da bude sveta i telom i duhom; a koja je udata brine se za svetsko, kako će ugoditi mužu. 35 A ovo govorim na korist vama samim, ne da vam nametnem zamku na vrat, nego za lepu i pristojnu službu Gospodu bez smetnje. 36 Ako li pak ko misli da je sramota za njegovu devojku kad ostane usedelica, i ne može drugačije biti, neka čini šta hoće, ne greši ako se uda. 37 A koji stoji tvrdo u srcu, i nema nevolje, a ima vlast nad svojom voljom, i ovo je rasudio u srcu svom da zadrži devojku, dobro čini. 38 Tako i onaj koji udaje svoju devojku dobro čini; ali koji ne udaje bolje čini. 39 Žena je privezana zakonom dokle joj god živi muž; a ako joj umre muž, slobodna je za koga hoće da se uda, samo u Gospodu. 40 Ali je blaženija ako ostane tako po mom savetu; jer mislim da i ja imam Duha Božijeg.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Having corrected the three heaviest things laid to their charge, one, the distraction of the Church, another, about the fornicator, a third, about the covetous person, he thenceforth uses a milder sort of speech. And he interposes some exhortation and advice about marriage and virginity, giving the hearers some respite from more unpleasant subjects.

And they are also unacquainted with [the meaning of] the passing away of the heaven and earth; but Paul was not ignorant of it when he declared, "For the figure of this world passeth away." In the next place, David explains their question, for he says that when the fashion of this world passes away, not only shall God remain, …
For Thy omnipotency is not far from us even when we are far from Thee, else in truth ought I more vigilantly to have given heed to the voice from the clouds: "Nevertheless, such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you;" and, "It is good for a man not to touch a woman;" and, "He that is …

… to the monks also, except marriage; yea rather, even with respect to this, Paul commands us to put ourselves altogether on a level with them; saying, "For the fashion of this world passeth away:" that "they that have wives be as though they had none." "Wherefore" (so he speaks) "I do not bid you take possession of the summits of …

… should testify of himself "the Spirit of God is in me, and I offer glory after being made wise through the grace that flows from Him." For to a Paul it is becoming to say "I think also that I have the Spirit of God," and again, "that good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Holy Ghost …
