1 Corinthians 7Living Bible (TLB) 7 Now about those questions you asked in your last letter: my answer is that if you do not marry, it is good. 2 But usually it is best to be married, each man having his own wife, and each woman having her own husband, because otherwise you might fall back into sin. 3 The man should give his wife all that is her right as a married woman, and the wife should do the same for her husband: 4 for a girl who marries no longer has full right to her own body, for her husband then has his rights to it, too; and in the same way the husband no longer has full right to his own body, for it belongs also to his wife. 5 So do not refuse these rights to each other. The only exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and wife to refrain from the rights of marriage for a limited time, so that they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterwards, they should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt them because of their lack of self-control. 6 I’m not saying you must marry, but you certainly may if you wish. 7 I wish everyone could get along without marrying, just as I do. But we are not all the same. God gives some the gift of a husband or wife, and others he gives the gift of being able to stay happily unmarried. 8 So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—better to stay unmarried if you can, just as I am. 9 But if you can’t control yourselves, go ahead and marry. It is better to marry than to burn with lust. 10 Now, for those who are married I have a command, not just a suggestion. And it is not a command from me, for this is what the Lord himself has said: A wife must not leave her husband. 11 But if she is separated from him, let her remain single or else go back to him. And the husband must not divorce his wife. 12 Here I want to add some suggestions of my own. These are not direct commands from the Lord, but they seem right to me: If a Christian has a wife who is not a Christian, but she wants to stay with him anyway, he must not leave her or divorce her. 13 And if a Christian woman has a husband who isn’t a Christian, and he wants her to stay with him, she must not leave him. 14 For perhaps the husband who isn’t a Christian may become a Christian with the help of his Christian wife. And the wife who isn’t a Christian may become a Christian with the help of her Christian husband. Otherwise, if the family separates, the children might never come to know the Lord; whereas a united family may, in God’s plan, result in the children’s salvation. 15 But if the husband or wife who isn’t a Christian is eager to leave, it is permitted. In such cases the Christian husband or wife should not insist that the other stay, for God wants his children to live in peace and harmony. 16 For, after all, there is no assurance to you wives that your husbands will be converted if they stay; and the same may be said to you husbands concerning your wives. 17 But be sure in deciding these matters that you are living as God intended, marrying or not marrying in accordance with God’s direction and help, and accepting whatever situation God has put you into. This is my rule for all the churches. 18 For instance, a man who already has gone through the Jewish ceremony of circumcision before he became a Christian shouldn’t worry about it; and if he hasn’t been circumcised, he shouldn’t do it now. 19 For it doesn’t make any difference at all whether a Christian has gone through this ceremony or not. But it makes a lot of difference whether he is pleasing God and keeping God’s commandments. That is the important thing. 20 Usually a person should keep on with the work he was doing when God called him. 21 Are you a slave? Don’t let that worry you—but of course, if you get a chance to be free, take it. 22 If the Lord calls you, and you are a slave, remember that Christ has set you free from the awful power of sin; and if he has called you and you are free, remember that you are now a slave of Christ. 23 You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him—be free now from all these earthly prides and fears. 24 So, dear brothers, whatever situation a person is in when he becomes a Christian, let him stay there, for now the Lord is there to help him. 25 Now I will try to answer your other question. What about girls who are not yet married? Should they be permitted to do so? In answer to this question, I have no special command for them from the Lord. But the Lord in his kindness has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will be glad to tell you what I think. 26 Here is the problem: We Christians are facing great dangers to our lives at present. In times like these I think it is best for a person to remain unmarried. 27 Of course, if you already are married, don’t separate because of this. But if you aren’t, don’t rush into it at this time. 28 But if you men decide to go ahead anyway and get married now, it is all right; and if a girl gets married in times like these, it is no sin. However, marriage will bring extra problems that I wish you didn’t have to face right now. 29 The important thing to remember is that our remaining time is very short, and so are our opportunities for doing the Lord’s work. For that reason those who have wives should stay as free as possible for the Lord;* 30 happiness or sadness or wealth should not keep anyone from doing God’s work. 31 Those in frequent contact with the exciting things the world offers should make good use of their opportunities without stopping to enjoy them; for the world in its present form will soon be gone. 32 In all you do, I want you to be free from worry. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him. 33 But a married man can’t do that so well; he has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. 34 His interests are divided. It is the same with a girl who marries. She faces the same problem. A girl who is not married is anxious to please the Lord in all she is and does. But a married woman must consider other things such as housekeeping and the likes and dislikes of her husband. 35 I am saying this to help you, not to try to keep you from marrying. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few other things as possible to distract your attention from him. 36 But if anyone feels he ought to marry because he has trouble controlling his passions, it is all right; it is not a sin; let him marry. 37 But if a man has the willpower not to marry and decides that he doesn’t need to and won’t, he has made a wise decision. 38 So the person who marries does well, and the person who doesn’t marry does even better. 39 The wife is part of her husband as long as he lives; if her husband dies, then she may marry again, but only if she marries a Christian. 40 But in my opinion she will be happier if she doesn’t marry again; and I think I am giving you counsel from God’s Spirit when I say this.

1 कोरिन्थी 7Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) विवाहको विषयमा 7 अब तिमीहरूलाई मलाई लेखेका कुराहरूको विषयमा म चर्चा गर्दछु। लोग्ने मानिसले विवाह नगरेको असल हो। 2 तर यौन अपराधको कारणले, प्रत्येक पुरुषको आफ्नो पत्नी हुनु पर्छ अनि प्रत्येक स्त्रीको आफ्नो पति हुनु पर्छ। 3 पतिले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई सब थोकहरू देओस् जुन एउटी पत्नीले पाउनु पर्छ र पत्नीले पनि आफ्ना पतिलाई सब कुरा देओस्, जुन एउटा पतिले पाउनु पर्छ। 4 आफ्नो शरीरमाथि पत्नीको कुनै अधिकार रहँदैन। उसको शरीरमाथि उसको पतिको अधिकार रहन्छ। 5 एकार्काको शरीरलाई अस्वीकार नगर। तर तिमीहरू दुवै केही समयको निम्ति यौन-सम्बनधबाट अलग बस्न सहमत हौ। तिमीहरूले प्रार्थनाको लागि यसो गर्नु सक्छौं अनि तब फेरि एक साथ होऊ। यसो गरेमा शैतानले तिम्रो कमजोरीद्वारा आर्कषण गराउन सक्तैन। 6 केही समयको निम्ति अलग रहनु भनेर म अनुमतिको रूपमा भन्दैछु। यसलाई आज्ञा नमान। 7 म त चाहन्छु सबै म जस्तै होऊन् तर प्रत्येक मानिसले परमेश्वरबाट आफ्नो निम्ति वरदान पाएको छ। एक जनाले एक किसिमको वरदान पाए को छ भने अर्कोले अर्कै किसिमको। 8 अब विवाह नगरेकाहरूलाई र विधवाहरूलाई म भन्छुः उनीहरूको लागि म जस्तै एकलो बस्नु राम्रो हो। 9 तर उनीहरूले आफूलाई वशमा राख्न सक्दैनन् भने, विवाह गरून्। यौन इच्छाले जल्नु भन्दा विवाह गर्नु असल हो। 10 अब म विवाह गर्नेहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिन्छु। यो आज्ञा मबाट होइन, यो प्रभूबाट हो। पत्नीले आफ्ना पतिलाई नछोडोस् 11 तर छोडिहाली भने पनि उसले फेरि विहे नगरोस्। कि त ऊ आफ्नै पतिसँग फेरि मिलोस्। पतिले पनि आफ्नी पत्नीलाई नत्यागोस्। 12 अरू सबैलाई म यो भन्छु। यी कुराहरू म भन्दैछु, प्रभुबाट होइन। ख्रीष्टमा एक भाइको यस्ती पत्नी हुन सक्छे जो ख्रीष्ट विश्वासी होइन। यदि त्यस्ती पत्नी उसित बस्न राजी छे भने उसले त्यसलाई नत्यागोस्। 13 अनि ख्रीष्टमा एक स्त्रीको अविश्वासी लोग्ने हुन सक्छ। तर यदि त्यो उसित बस्न राजी छ भने उसले पनि त्यसलाई नत्यागोस्। 14 एक अविश्वासी पति विश्वासी पत्नीद्वारा पवित्र बन्दछ। अनि अविश्वासी पत्नी पनि पनि विश्वासी पतिद्वारा पवित्र बन्छे। यसो नहुँदो होत तिमीहरूका छोर-छोरी अशुद्ध हुने थिए। तर अहिले उनीहरू पवित्र छन्। 15 तर विश्वास नगर्नेले त्याग्न खोजे, उसलाई त्यसो गर्न देऊ। त्यसो भएको खण्डमा ख्रीष्टमा भाइ वा बहिनी बन्धनमा रहदैंनन्। 16 परमेश्वरले हामीलाई शान्तिमय जीवनको निम्ति बोलाउनु भएकोछ। पत्नीहरू, तिमीहरूले नै आ-आफ्ना पतिलाई बचाउन सकौला, र पतिहरू, तिमीहरूले नै आ-आफ्ना पत्नीलाई बचाउन सकौला। पछि के हुने हो तिमीहरू अहिले जान्दैनौ। परमेश्वरले भन्नु भए जस्तै बाँच 17 जे जस्तो सुकै भए पनि जुन अवस्थामा परमेश्वरले उसलाई बोलाएको समयमा ऊ त्यो अनि जुन अवस्थामा उसलाई अहिले परमेश्वरले राख्नु भएकोछ उसरीनै प्रत्येक मानिस बाँच्नु पर्छ। यही नियम हो जो म सबै मण्डलीहरूलाई दिन्छु। 18 यदि कुनै मानिस बोलाइँदा पहिल्यैबाट खतना भएको थियो भने उसले आफ्नो परिवर्तन गर्नु पर्दैन। यदि खतना नगरिएको मानिस बोलाइयो भने उसले खतना गरिरहनु पर्दैन। 19 मानिस खतना गरिएको छ कि छैन त्यो कुनै मुख्य कुरो होइन। खास कुरो त परमेश्वरको आज्ञाको पालन गर्नु हो। 20 प्रत्येक मानिस त्यही अवस्थामा बसोस् जुन अवस्थामा उसलाई परमेश्वरबाट बोलाइयो। 21 परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई बोलाउँदा तिमी कमारा थियौ भने त्यसको परवाह नगर। तर तिमी मुक्त हुन सक्छौ भने तिमीलाई दिएको मौकाको प्रयोग गर। 22 परमेश्वरले बोलाउँदा कुनै मानिस कमारा थियो भने ऊ प्रभुमा मुक्त हुन्छ अनि ऊ प्रभुको हुन्छ। उसरी नै परमेश्वरले बोलाउँदा यदि ऊ मुक्त थियो भने ऊ ख्रीष्टमा कमारा हुन्छ। 23 तिमीहरू मूल्य चुकाएर किनिएकाहरू हौ। त्यसैले मानिसका कमारा नबन। 24 दाज्यू-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनीहरू हो! अब परमेश्वरसितको नयाँ जीवनमा, तिमीहरू परमेश्वरद्वारा बोलाउनुहुँदा जुन अवस्थामा थियौ त्यही अवस्थामा रहनु पर्छ। विवाह बारेको प्रश्नहरू 25 अब म अविवाहितहरूको विषयमा लेख्छु। यस बारे मलाई प्रभुबाट आज्ञा छैन, तथापि म आफ्नो विचार पोख्छु । मलाई विश्वास गर्न सक्छौ किन कि प्रभुले मलाई दया गर्नु भएको छ। 26 त्यो दुःखको घडी हो। यसैले म सोच्छु तिमीहरू जुन अवस्थामा छौ त्यही अवस्थामा बस्नु राम्रो हो। 27 तिमीहरूको पत्नी छ भने उबाट अलग हुने चेष्टा नगर। यदि तिम्रो विवाह विच्छेद भएको भए, पुर्नविवाह पट्टि नलाग। तिमीहरू अविवाहित भए पत्नी खोज्ने चेष्टा तर्फ नलाग 28 तर तिमीले विवाह गरे त्यो कुनै पाप होइन। अनि कन्या केटीले विवाह गर्छ भने त्यो पाप होइन। तर विवाह गर्नेहरूले जीवनमा दुःखै पाउँछन् अनि म चाहन्छु कि तिमीहरू त्यस्तो कठिनाईहरूबाट मुक्त रहो। 29 दाज्यू-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनीहरू हो! मेरो भन्नुको तात्पर्यः हाम्रो लागि समय छोटो छ। जस-जसको पत्नीहरू छन्, पत्नी नहुनेहरू झैं बस। 30 जो दुःखीत छन् तिनीहरू दुःख नपाएको जस्तै बसुन्। जो हर्षित छन् तिनीहरू हर्ष नभएको जस्तै बसुन् किनमेल गर्नेहरू तिनीहरू केही नभएको जस्तै बसुन्।। 31 जो संसारिक वस्तु व्यवहार गर्छन्, तिनीहरू ती वस्तुहरूमा चासो नभए झैं गरी बसुन्। तिमीहरू यसरी नै बस्नु पर्छ किन कि यो संसार, जुन अवस्थामा अहिले छ, चाँडै बितेर जाने छ। 32 तिमीहरू चिन्ताबाट मुक्त होऊ भन्ने म चाहन्छु। एक अविवाहित मानिस प्रभुको काममा पूर्णरूपले मग्न रहन्छ। उसको उदेश्य नै प्रभुलाई खुशी तुल्याउनु हो। 33 तर विवाहित मानिस सांसारिक वस्तुसँग सम्बन्धित हुन्छ। उसको लक्ष्य आफ्नी पत्नीलाई खुशी पार्नु हुन्छ। 34 उसको ध्यान दुइवटा लक्ष्य तिर छुटिन्छ। एउटी अविवाहित स्त्री अथवा एउटी कन्या प्रभुको सम्बन्धमा व्यस्त रहन्छे। ऊ आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण शरीर र आत्मा प्रभुलाई अर्पण गर्न चाहन्छे। तर विवाहित स्त्री सांसारिक कुराहरूमै सम्बन्धित रहन्छे। उसको प्राथमिक कर्त्तव्य आफ्नो पतिलाई खुशी पार्नु रहन्छ। 35 तिमीहरूकै भलाईको निम्ति म यी कुराहरू गर्दैछु। मैले तिमीहरूलाई नियन्त्रण गर्न खोजेको होइन। तर तिमीहरू ठीक ढङ्गले बाँच्न सक भन्ने म चाहन्छु। अनि आफ्नो समय अरू कुराहरूतिरबाट मुक्त गराई पूर्णतया प्रभुमा लगाएको मन पराँउछु। 36 विवाहको उमेर ढल्किन लागेकी आफ्नी कन्या प्रति मैले ठीक गरेको छैनँ भनी कसैले सोंच्न सक्ला र विवाह गरिदिनै पर्छ भन्ने सम्झानु सक्ला । त्यस अवस्थामा उसले जे चाहन्छ गरोस्। तिनीहरूलाई विवाह गर्न दिइयोस्। त्यो पाप होइन। 37 तर कोही यस्तो बलियो मनको पनि हुन सक्ला र सोच्ला विवाहको कुनै आवश्यकता छैन, ऊ पनि आफ्नो इच्छामा स्वतन्त्रै छ। यदि त्यस मानिसले आफ्नी कन्यालाई अविवाहित राख्ने निश्चय गरेको छ भने उसले ठीक गर्दैछ। 38 अर्थात् जसले आफ्नो कन्याको विवाह गर्छ उसले राम्रो गर्छ। र जसले आफ्नो कन्याको विवाह गरिदिंदैन उसले अझै राम्रो गर्छ। 39 जब सम्म पति जीवित रहन्छ उसकी स्त्री बन्धनमा रहन्छे। तर पति मर्यो भने, त्यस स्त्रीले आफूले रूचाएको मानिससित विवाह गर्न सक्छे। तर उसले प्रभुमा विवाह गर्नु पर्छ। 40 यदि ऊ त्यही अवस्थामा बसे अझ सुखी रहनेथिई। यो म जस्तो विचार गर्छु अनि म पक्का विश्वास गर्छु कि पमेश्वरको आत्मा ममा छ।
