Synodal Russian Synodal Bible (1876)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 А о чем вы писали ко мне, то хорошо человеку не касаться женщины.
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Но, во избежание блуда, каждый имей свою жену, и каждая имей своего мужа.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Муж оказывай жене должное благорасположение; подобно и жена мужу.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
4 Жена не властна над своим телом, но муж; равно и муж не властен над своим телом, но жена.
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 Не уклоняйтесь друг от друга, разве по согласию, на время, для упражнения в посте и молитве, а потом опять будьте вместе, чтобы не искушал вас сатана невоздержанием вашим.
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 Впрочем это сказано мною как позволение, а не как повеление.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7 Ибо желаю, чтобы все люди были, как и я; но каждый имеет свое дарование от Бога, один так, другой иначе.
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 Безбрачным же и вдовам говорю: хорошо им оставаться, как я.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9 Но если не могут воздержаться, пусть вступают в брак; ибо лучше вступить в брак, нежели разжигаться.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 А вступившим в брак не я повелеваю, а Господь: жене не разводиться с мужем, —
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
11 если же разведется, то должна оставаться безбрачною, или примириться с мужем своим, — и мужу не оставлять жены своей.
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 Прочим же я говорю, а не Господь: если какой брат имеет жену неверующую, и она согласна жить с ним, то он не должен оставлять ее;
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 и жена, которая имеет мужа неверующего, и он согласен жить с нею, не должна оставлять его.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 Ибо неверующий муж освящается женою верующею, и жена неверующая освящается мужем верующим. Иначе дети ваши были бы нечисты, а теперь святы.
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 Если же неверующий хочет развестись, пусть разводится; брат или сестра в таких случаях не связаны; к миру призвал нас Господь.
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 Почему ты знаешь, жена, не спасешь ли мужа? Или ты, муж, почему знаешь, не спасешь ли жены?
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 Только каждый поступай так, как Бог ему определил, и каждый, как Господь призвал. Так я повелеваю по всем церквам.
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 Призван ли кто обрезанным, не скрывайся; призван ли кто необрезанным, не обрезывайся.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19 Обрезание ничто и необрезание ничто, но все в соблюдении заповедей Божиих.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
20 Каждый оставайся в том звании, в котором призван.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
21 Рабом ли ты призван, не смущайся; но если и можешь сделаться свободным, то лучшим воспользуйся.
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 Ибо раб, призванный в Господе, есть свободный Господа; равно и призванный свободным есть раб Христов.
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 Вы куплены дорогою ценою; не делайтесь рабами человеков.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
24 В каком звании кто призван, братия, в том каждый и оставайся пред Богом.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25 Относительно девства я не имею повеления Господня, а даю совет, как получивший от Господа милость быть Ему верным.
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 По настоящей нужде за лучшее признаю, что хорошо человеку оставаться так.
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 Соединен ли ты с женой? не ищи развода. Остался ли без жены? не ищи жены.
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 Впрочем, если и женишься, не согрешишь; и если девица выйдет замуж, не согрешит. Но таковые будут иметь скорби по плоти; а мне вас жаль.
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 Я вам сказываю, братия: время уже коротко, так что имеющие жен должны быть, как не имеющие;
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 и плачущие, как не плачущие; и радующиеся, как не радующиеся; и покупающие, как не приобретающие;
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 и пользующиеся миром сим, как не пользующиеся; ибо проходит образ мира сего.
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
32 А я хочу, чтобы вы были без забот. Неженатый заботится о Господнем, как угодить Господу;
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 а женатый заботится о мирском, как угодить жене. Есть разность между замужнею и девицею:
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
34 незамужняя заботится о Господнем, как угодить Господу, чтобы быть святою и телом и духом; а замужняя заботится о мирском, как угодить мужу.
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 Говорю это для вашей же пользы, не с тем, чтобы наложить на вас узы, но чтобы вы благочинно и непрестанно служили Господу без развлечения.
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 Если же кто почитает неприличным для своей девицы то, чтобы она, будучи в зрелом возрасте, оставалась так, тот пусть делает, как хочет: не согрешит; пусть таковые выходят замуж.
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 Но кто непоколебимо тверд в сердце своем и, не будучи стесняем нуждою, но будучи властен в своей воле, решился в сердце своем соблюдать свою деву, тот хорошо поступает.
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 Посему выдающий замуж свою девицу поступает хорошо; а не выдающий поступает лучше.
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 Жена связана законом, доколе жив муж ее; если же муж ее умрет, свободна выйти, за кого хочет, только в Господе.
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 Но она блаженнее, если останется так, по моему совету; а думаю, и я имею Духа Божия.
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).

  1. Commentary 7:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Corinthians (Homily XIX)

    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."
