1 A za ono što mi pisaste: dobro je čoveku da se ne dohvata do žene:
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Ali zbog kurvarstva svaki da ima svoju ženu, i svaka žena da ima svog muža;
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 muž da čini ženi dužnu ljubav, tako i žena mužu.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
4 Žena nije gospodar od svog tela, nego muž; tako i muž nije gospodar od svog tela, nego žena.
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.
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.
5 Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 Ali ovo govorim po svetu a ne po zapovesti;
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7 jer hoću da svi ljudi budu kao i ja; ali svaki ima svoj dar od Boga: ovaj dakle ovako, a onaj onako.
7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8 A neoženjenim i udovicama velim: dobro im je ako ostanu kao i ja što sam.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9 Ako li se ne uzdrže, neka se žene i udaju; jer je bolje ženiti se negoli upaljivati se.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 A oženjenim zapovedam, ne ja nego Gospod, da se žena od muža ne razdvaja
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
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.
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
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.
12 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
13 I žena ako ima muža nekrštenog i on se privoli živeti s njom, da ga ne ostavlja.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
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.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
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.
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.
16 Jer šta znaš, ženo, da ako muža spaseš? Ili šta znaš, mužu, da ako ženu spaseš?
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 Samo kao što je Bog razdelio svakome, i kao što je svakog pozvao Gospod onako neka živi. I tako zapovedam po svim crkvama.
17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
18 Je li ko pozvat obrezan, neka se ne gradi neobrezan; ako li je ko pozvat neobrezan, neka se ne obrezuje.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19 Obrezanje je ništa, i neobrezanje je ništa; nego držanje zapovesti Božijih.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
20 Svaki neka ostane u onom zvanju u kome je pozvan.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
21 Jesi li pozvan rob, ne brini se; nego ako i možeš svoj biti, još radije budi.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
22 Jer koji je pozvan u Gospodu rob, slobodnjak je Gospodnji, tako i koji je pozvan slobodnjak, rob je Hristov.
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
23 Kupljeni ste skupo, ne budite robovi ljudima.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
24 Svaki, braćo, u čemu je ko pozvan u onom neka ostane pred Gospodom.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25 A za devojke nemam zapovesti Gospodnje, nego dajem savet, kao koji sam pomilovan od Gospoda, da budem veran.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
26 Mislim dakle ovo da će biti dobro za sadašnju nevolju da je čoveku dobro tako biti.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
27 Jesi li se privezao za ženu, ne traži da se razrešiš; jesi li se odrešio od žene, ne traži žene.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
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.
28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
29 A ovo govorim, braćo, jer je ostalo vreme prekraćeno, da će i oni koji imaju žene biti kao oni koji nemaju;
29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
30 i koji plaču kao koji ne plaču; i koji se raduju kao koji se ne raduju; i koji kupuju kao koji nemaju;
30 and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;
31 i koji ovaj svet upotrebljavaju kao da ga ne upotrebljavaju: jer prolazi obličje ovog sveta.
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
32 A ja hoću da ste vi bezbrižni. Ko je neoženjen brine se za Gospodnje, kako će ugoditi Gospodu;
32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
33 a koji je oženjen brine se za svetsko, kako će ugoditi ženi. Drugo je žena, a drugo je devojka.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
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.
34 There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
35 A ovo govorim na korist vama samim, ne da vam nametnem zamku na vrat, nego za lepu i pristojnu službu Gospodu bez smetnje.
35 This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
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.
36 But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.
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.
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
38 Tako i onaj koji udaje svoju devojku dobro čini; ali koji ne udaje bolje čini.
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.
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.
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.
40 Ali je blaženija ako ostane tako po mom savetu; jer mislim da i ja imam Duha Božijeg.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.

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."
