ܐ-ܩܘܪ̈ܝܢܬܝܐ 7

1 ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܩܪܒ

Now concerning the things about which you wrote: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

2 ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܢܐܚܘܕ ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܒܥܠܗ ܬܐܚܘܕ

But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

3 ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܡܬܬܚܝܒ ܢܦܪܘܥ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܒܥܠܗ

Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

4 ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛܐ ܥܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܒܥܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.

5 ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܓܠܙܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܬܪܝܟܘܢ ܬܫܬܘܘܢ ܒܙܒܢ ܕܬܬܥܢܘܢ ܠܨܘܡܐ ܘܠܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܗ ܠܨܒܘܬܐ ܬܬܦܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܢܤܝܟܘܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܪܓܬܐ ܕܦܓܪܟܘܢ

Do not deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

6 ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܚܝܠܐ ܠܘ ܡܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ

But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

7 ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܟܘܬܝ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܝܗܝܒܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܗܟܢܐ

Yet I wish that all people were like me. However each one has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

8 ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܠܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܢܩܘܘܢ ܐܟܘܬܝ

But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

9 ܐܢ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܢܙܕܘܓܘܢ ܦܩܚ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܕܠܡܐܩܕ ܒܪܓܬܐ

But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.

10 ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܫܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܦܪܘܫ

But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband

11 ܘܐܢ ܬܦܪܘܫ ܬܩܘܐ ܕܠܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܠܒܥܠܗ ܬܬܪܥܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܠܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ

(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

12 ܠܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܚܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܗܝ ܨܒܝܐ ܕܬܥܡܪ ܥܡܗ ܠܐ ܢܫܒܩܝܗ

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 ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܥܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܘܗܘ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܡܪ ܥܡܗ ܠܐ ܬܫܒܘܩ ܒܥܠܗ

The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

14 ܡܩܕܫ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܡܩܕܫܐ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܛܡܐܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

15 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܦܪܫ ܢܦܪܘܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܥܒܕ ܐܚܐ ܐܘ ܚܬܐ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܠܫܠܡܐ ܗܘ ܩܪܢ ܐܠܗܐ

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 you to peace.

16 ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܢ ܠܒܥܠܟܝ ܬܚܝܢ ܐܘ ܐܢܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܢ ܠܐܢܬܬܟ ܬܚܐ

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 ܐܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܠܓ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܕܩܪܝܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܘܐܦ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ

Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the churches.

18 ܐܢ ܟܕ ܓܙܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܠܐ ܢܗܦܘܟ ܠܗ ܠܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܠܐ ܢܓܙܘܪ

Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

19 ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܕܡ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܛܘܪܬܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20 ܟܠܢܫ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܒܗ ܢܩܘܐ

Let each person stay in that calling in which he was called.

21 ܐܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܬܩܪܝܬ ܠܐ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܐܠܐ ܐܦܢ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܬܚܪܪܘ ܓܒܝ ܠܟ ܕܬܦܠܘܚ

Were you called being a slave? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

22 ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܒܡܪܢ ܡܚܪܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܒܪ ܚܐܪܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ

For he who was called in the Lord being a slave is the Lord's free person. Likewise he who was called being free is Messiah's slave.

23 ܒܕܡܝܐ ܐܙܕܒܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ

You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of people.

24 ܟܠܢܫ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܐܚܝ ܒܗ ܢܩܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ

Brothers, let each one, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.

25 ܥܠ ܒܬܘܠܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܬܚܢܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܗܘܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ

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 ܘܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܢܢܩܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ

I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a person to remain as he is.

27 ܐܤܝܪ ܐܢܬ ܒܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܒܥܐ ܫܪܝܐ ܫܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܒܥܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ

Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

28 ܘܐܢ ܬܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܚܛܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܢ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܦܓܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܚܐܤ ܐܢܐ

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 ܘܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܐܙܕܠܗܙ ܠܗ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܫܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ

But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, those who have wives should be as though they had none;

30 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܒܟܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܚܕܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܩܕܝܢ

and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;

31 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܫܚܝܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܙܕܩܐ ܕܚܫܚܬܐ ܥܒܪ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܐܤܟܡܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ

and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the form of this world is passing away.

32 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܠܐ ܨܦܬܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܪܢܐ ܒܕܡܪܗ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܫܦܪ ܠܡܪܗ

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 ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܝܨܦ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܫܦܪ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ

but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

34 ܦܘܪܫܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܦ ܒܝܢܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܢܝܐ ܒܡܪܗ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܘܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܥܠܐ ܪܢܝܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܫܦܪ ܠܒܥܠܗ

and is divided. And the woman that is unmarried, or a virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the one that is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

35 ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܚܢܘܩܝܬܐ ܪܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܟܘܢ ܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܪܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ

This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

36 ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܤܒܪ ܕܡܬܒܙܚ ܒܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܕܥܒܪ ܙܒܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒܗ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܘܘܠܝܐ ܕܢܬܠܝܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܐ ܚܛܐ ܬܙܕܘܓ

But if anyone 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 does not sin. Let them marry.

37 ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܦܤܩ ܒܪܥܝܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܠܨܐ ܠܗ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܕܢ ܒܠܒܗ ܕܢܛܪ ܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.

38 ܘܐܝܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ

So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.

39 ܐܢܬܬܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܝ ܒܥܠܗ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܕܡܟ ܒܥܠܗ ܡܚܪܪܐ ܗܝ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܡܪܢ

A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.

40 ܛܘܒܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܬܩܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܥܝܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܝ

But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.
