Notes on this text (1)
- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 As concerninge the thinges wherof ye wrote vnto me: it is good for a man not to touche a woman.
1 CUANTO á las cosas de que me escribisteis, bien es al hombre no tocar mujer.
2 Neverthelesse to avoyde fornicacion let every man have his wyfe: and let every woman have her husbande.
2 Mas á causa de las fornicaciones, cada uno tenga su mujer, y cada una tenga su marido.
3 Let the man geve vnto the wyfe due benevolence. Lykwyse also the wyfe vnto the man.
3 El marido pague á la mujer la debida benevolencia; y asimismo la mujer al marido.
4 The wyfe hath not power over her awne body: but the husbande. And lykewyse the man hath not power over his awne body: but the wyfe.
4 La mujer no tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino el marido: é igualmente tampoco el marido tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino la mujer.
5 Withdrawe not youre selves one from another excepte it be with consent for a tyme for to geve youre selves to fastynge and prayer. And afterwarde come agayne to the same thynge lest Satan tempt you for youre incontinencye.
5 No os defraudéis el uno al otro, á no ser por algún tiempo de [mutuo] consentimiento, para ocuparos en la oración: y volved á juntaros en uno, porque no os tiente Satanás á causa de vuestra incontinencia.
6 This I saye of faveour not of commaundement.
6 Mas esto digo por permisión, no por mandamiento.
7 For I wolde that all men were as I my selfe am: but every man hath his proper gyfte of God one after this maner another after that.
7 Quisiera más bien que todos los hombres fuesen como yo: empero cada uno tiene su propio don de Dios; uno á la verdad así, y otro así.
8 I saye vnto the vnmaried men and widdowes: it is good for them yf they abyde even as I do.
8 Digo pues á los solteros y á las viudas, que bueno les es si se quedaren como yo.
9 But and yf they cannot abstayne let them mary. For it is better to mary then to burne.
9 Y si no tienen don de continencia, cásense; que mejor es casarse que quemarse.
10 Vnto the maryed commaunde not I but the Lorde: that the wyfe separate not her selfe from the man.
10 Mas á los que están juntos en matrimonio, denuncio, no yo, sino el Señor: Que la mujer no se aparte del marido;
11 Yf she separate her selfe let her remayne vnmaryed or be reconciled vnto her husbande agayne. And let not the husbande put awaye his wyfe from him.
11 Y si se apartare, que se quede sin casar, ó reconcíliese con su marido; y que el marido no despida á su mujer.
12 To the remnaunt speake I and not the lorde. Yf eny brother have a wyfe that beleveth not yf she be content to dwell with him let him not put her awaye.
12 Y á los demás yo digo, no el Señor: Si algún hermano tiene mujer infiel, y ella consiente en habitar con él, no la despida.
13 And the woman which hath to her husbande an infidell yf he consent to dwell with her let her not put him awaye.
13 Y la mujer que tiene marido infiel, y él consiente en habitar con ella, no lo deje.
14 For the vnbelevynge husbande is sanctified by the wyfe: and the vnbelevynge wyfe is sanctified by the husbande. Or els were youre chyldren vnclene: but now are they pure.
14 Porque el marido infiel es santificado en la mujer, y la mujer infiel en el marido: pues de otra manera vuestros hijos serían inmundos; empero ahora son santos.
15 But and yf the vnbelevynge departe let him departe. A brother or a sister is not in subiection to soche. God hath called vs in peace.
15 Pero si el infiel se aparta, apártese: que no es el hermano ó la hermana sujeto á servidumbre en semejante [caso]; antes á paz nos llamó Dios.
16 For how knowest thou o woman whether thou shalt save that man or no? Other how knowest thou o man whether thou shalt save that woman or no?
16 Porque ¿de dónde sabes, oh mujer, si quizá harás salvo á tu marido? ¿ó de dónde sabes, oh marido, si quizá harás salva á tu mujer?
17 but even as God hath distributed to every man. As the lorde hath called every person so let him walke: and so orden I in all congregacions.
17 Empero cada uno como el Señor le repartió, y como Dios llamó á cada uno, así ande: y así enseño en todas las iglesias.
18 Yf eny man be called beynge circumcised let him adde nothinge therto. Yf eny be called vncircumcised: let him not be circumcised.
18 ¿Es llamado alguno circuncidado? quédese circunciso. ¿Es llamado alguno incircuncidado? que no se circuncide.
19 Circumcision is nothinge vncircumcision is nothinge: but the kepyng of the commaundmentes of god is altogether.
19 La circuncisión nada es, y la incircuncisión nada es; sino la observancia de las mandamientos de Dios.
20 Let every man abyde in the same state wherin he was called.
20 Cada uno en la vocación en que fué llamado, en ella se quede.
21 Arte thou called a servaut? care not for it. Neverthelesse yf thou mayst be fre vse it rather.
21 ¿Eres llamado siendo siervo? no se te dé cuidado: mas también si puedes hacerte libre, procúralo más.
22 For he that is called in the lorde beynge a servaunt is the lordes freman. Lykwyse he that is called beynge fre is Christes servaut.
22 Porque el que en el Señor es llamado siendo siervo, liberto es del Señor: asimismo también el que es llamado siendo libre, siervo es de Cristo.
23 Ye are dearly bought be not mennes seruauntes.
23 Por precio sois comprados; no os hagáis siervos de los hombres.
24 Brethren let everye man wherin he is called therin abyde with God.
24 Cada uno, hermanos, en lo que es llamado, en esto se quede para con Dios.
25 As concernynge virgins I have no commaundment of the lorde: yet geve I counsell as one that hath obtayned mercye of the lorde to be faythfull.
25 Empero de las vírgenes no tengo mandamiento del Señor; mas doy mi parecer, como quien ha alcanzado misericordia del Señor para ser fiel.
26 I suppose that it is good for the present necessite. For it is good for a man so to be.
26 Tengo, pues, esto por bueno á causa de la necesidad que apremia, que bueno es al hombre estarse así.
27 Arte thou bounde vnto a wyfe? seke not to be lowsed. Arte thou lowsed from a wyfe? seke not a wyfe.
27 ¿Estás ligado á mujer? no procures soltarte. ¿Estás suelto de mujer? no procures mujer.
28 But and yf thou take a wyfe thou synnest not. Lykwyse if a virgin mary she synneth not. Neverthelesse soche shall have trouble in their flesshe: but I faver you.
28 Mas también si tomares mujer, no pecaste; y si la doncella se casare, no pecó: pero aflicción de carne tendrán los tales: mas yo os dejo.
29 This saye I brethren the tyme is shorte. It remayneth that they which have wives be as though they had none
29 Esto empero digo, hermanos, que el tiempo es corto: lo que resta es, que los que tienen mujeres sean como los que no las tienen;
30 and they that wepe be as though thy wept not: and they that reioyce be as though they reioysed not: and they that bye be as though they possessed not:
30 Y los que lloran, como los que no lloran; y los que se huelgan, como los que no se huelgan; y los que compran, como los que no poseen;
31 and they that vse this worlde be as though they vsed it not. For the fassion of this worlde goeth awaye.
31 Y los que usan de este mundo, como los que no usan: porque la apariencia de este mundo se pasa.
32 I wolde have you without care: the single man careth for the thinges of the lorde how he maye please the lorde.
32 Quisiera, pues, que estuvieseis sin congoja. El soltero tiene cuidado de las cosas que son del Señor, cómo ha de agradar al Señor:
33 But he that hath maried careth for the thinges of the worlde howe he maye please his wyfe.
33 Empero el que se casó tiene cuidado de las cosas que son del mundo, cómo ha de agradar á su mujer.
34 There is difference bitwene a virgin and a wyfe. The single woman careth for the thinges of the lorde that she maye be pure both in body and also in sprete But she that is maryed careth for the thinges of the worlde how she maye please her husband.
34 Hay asimismo diferencia entre la casada y la doncella: la doncella tiene cuidado de las cosas del Señor, para ser santa así en el cuerpo como en el espíritu: mas la casada tiene cuidado de las cosas del mundo, cómo ha de agradar á su marido.
35 This speake I for youre proffit not to tangle you in a snare: but for that which is honest and comly vnto you and that ye maye quyetly cleave vnto the lorde with out separacion.
35 Esto empero digo para vuestro provecho; no para echaros lazo, sino para lo honesto y decente, y para que sin impedimento os lleguéis al Señor.
36 If eny man thinke that it is vncomly for his virgin if she passe the tyme of mariage ad if so nede requyre let him do what he listeth he synneth not: let the be coupled in mariage.
36 Mas, si á alguno parece cosa fea en su [hija] virgen, que pase ya de edad, y que así conviene que se haga, haga lo que quisiere, no peca; cásese.
37 Neverthelesse he that purposeth surely in his herte havynge none nede: but hath power over his awne will: and hath so decreed in his herte that he will kepe his virgin doth well.
37 Pero el que está firme en su corazón, y no tiene necesidad, sino que tiene libertad de su voluntad, y determinó en su corazón esto, el guardar su [hija] virgen, bien hace.
38 So then he that ioyneth his virgin in maryage doth well. But he that ioyneth not his virgin in mariage doth better.
38 Así que, el que la da en casamiento, bien hace; y el que no la da en casamiento, hace mejor.
39 The wyfe is bounde to the lawe as longe as her husband liveth If her husbande slepe she is at liberte to mary with whom she wyll only in the lorde.
39 La mujer casada está atada á la ley, mientras vive su marido; mas si su marido muriere, libre es: cásese con quien quisiere, con tal que sea en el Señor.
40 But she is happiar yf she so abyde in my iudgmet And I thinke verely that I have the sprete of God.
40 Empero más venturosa será si se quedare así, según mi consejo; y pienso que también yo tengo Espíritu de Dios.

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 …
