사도가 결혼에 관한 여러 질문에 답하다. (1-9) 결혼한 그리스도인들은 불신 배우자와 갈라서려 해서는 안 됨. (10-16) 어떤 정해진 처지에 있는 사람은 대개 그 안에 머물러야 함. (17-24) 당시의 위태로운 시대를 고려할 때 사람들이 이 세상에 얽매이지 않는 것이 가장 바람직했음. (25-35) 결혼에는 큰 신중함이 쓰여야 함; 오직 주 안에서만 해야 함. (36-40)

36 But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married.
36 누가 자기의 처녀 딸에 대한 일이 이치에 합당치 못한 줄로 생각할 때에 혼기도 지나고 그같이 할 필요가 있거든 마음대로 하라 이것은 죄 짓는 것이 아니니 혼인하게 하라
[x]MKJV: But if anyone thinks [it] behaving himself indecently toward his virgin (if she is past [her] prime, and so it ought to be) let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry. BBE: But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married. KAV: 그러나 어떤 사람이 자기의 처녀 딸이 꽃다운 나이를 넘기면 자기가 그 딸에게 합당하지 못하게 처신하는 것이라고 생각하며 또 그렇게 할 필요가 있으면 그가 원하는 대로 하게 하라. 그가 죄를 짓지 아니하나니 그들이 결혼하게 하라. TSK: the flower: 1sa 2:33; and need: 1co 7:9,37
37Neverthelesshe that standethstedfastin his heart, havingnonecessity, buthathpowerover his ownwill, andhathsodecreedinhisheart that he will keephisvirgin, doethwell.
37 But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

[x]MKJV: But [he] who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but who has authority over [his] own will (and has so judged in his heart that he will keep his virginity) he does well. BBE: But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin. KAV: 그럼에도 불구하고 그가 마음이 확고히 서고 부득이한 일도 없으며 자기 뜻대로 할 수 있어서 자기의 처녀 딸을 간직하기로 마음속에 그렇게 정하여도 잘하느니라.
38Sothen he that giveth her in marriagedoethwell; but he that giveth hernot in marriagedoethbetter.
38 So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.

[x]MKJV: So then he who gives in marriage does well. But he who does not give in marriage does better. BBE: So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better. KAV: 그런즉 이와 같이 딸을 시집보내는 자도 잘하거니와 시집보내지 아니하는 자는 더 잘하느니라.
