1 STF Sada o onome љto ste mi pisali. Dobro je covjeku ne dotaci ћenu. BSB BSB: Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.
2 STF Ipak, zbog bludnosti, neka svaki ima svoju ћenu i svaka neka ima svoga muћa. BSB BSB: But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
3 STF Muћ neka vrљi duћnost prema ћeni, a tako i ћena prema muћu. BSB BSB: The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
4 STF Ћena nije gospodar svoga tijela, nego muћ, a tako ni muћ nije gospodar svoga tijela, nego ћena. BSB BSB: The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5 STF Ne uskracujte se jedno drugome, osim po dogovoru, povremeno, da se posvetite molitvi pa se opet zdruћite da vas Sotona ne bi napastovao zbog vaљe neizdrћljivosti. BSB BSB: Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
6 STF Ali to velim kao dopuљtenje, ne kao zapovijed. BSB BSB: I say this as a concession, not as a command.
8 STF Neoћenjenima pak i udovicama velim: dobro im je ako ostanu kao i ja. BSB BSB: Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.
9 STF Ako li se ne mogu uzdrћati, neka se ћene, udaju. Jer bolje je ћeniti se negoli izgarati. BSB BSB: But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 STF A oћenjenima zapovijedam, ne ja, nego Gospodin: ћena neka se od muћa ne rastavlja- BSB BSB: To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
11 STF ako se ipak rastavi, neka ostane neudana ili neka se s muћem pomiri- i muћ neka ne otpuљta ћene. BSB BSB: But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 STF Ostalima pak velim- ja, ne Gospodin: ima li koji brat ћenu nevjernicu i ona privoli stanovati s njime, neka je ne otpuљta. BSB BSB: To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13 STF I ћena koja ima muћa nevjernika te on privoli stanovati s njome, neka ne otpuљta muћa. BSB BSB: And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14 STF Ta muћ nevjernik posvecen je ћenom i ћena nevjernica posvecena je bratom. Inace bi djeca vaљa bila necista, a ovako- sveta su. BSB BSB: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 STF Ako li se nevjernik hoce rastaviti, neka se rastavi; brat ili sestra u takvim prilikama nisu vezani: ta na mir nas je pozvao Bog. BSB BSB: But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.
16 STF Jer љto znaљ, ћeno, hoceљ li spasiti muћa? Ili љto znaљ, muћu, hoceљ li spasiti ћenu? BSB BSB: How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 STF U drugome svatko neka ћivi kako mu je Gospodin dodijelio, kako ga je Bog pozvao. Tako odredujem po svim crkvama. BSB BSB: Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.
18 STF Je li tko pozvan kao obrezan, neka ne prepravlja obrezanja. Ako je pozvan kao neobrezan, neka se ne obrezuje. BSB BSB: Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.
20 STF Svatko neka ostane u onom zvanju u koje je pozvan. BSB BSB: Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
21 STF Jesi li pozvan kao rob? Ne brini! Nego, ako i moћeљ postati slobodan, radije se okoristi. BSB BSB: Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
22 STF Jer tko je u Gospodinu pozvan kao rob, slobodnjak je Gospodnji. Tako i tko je pozvan kao slobodnjak, rob je Kristov. BSB BSB: For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.
23 STF Otkupninom ste kupljeni: ne budite robovi ljudima. BSB BSB: You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
24 STF Svatko u cemu je pozvan, braco, u tome neka i ostane pred Bogom. BSB BSB: Brothers, each one should remain in the situation he was in when God called him.
25 STF O djevicama nemam zapovijedi, nego dajem savjet kao covjek po milosrdu Gospodnjem vrijedan povjerenja. BSB BSB: Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
26 STF Smatram dakle: dobro je to zbog sadaљnje nevolje, dobro je covjeku tako biti. BSB BSB: Because of the present crisis, I think it is good for a man to remain as he is.
27 STF Jesi li vezan za ћenu? Ne traћi rastave. Jesi li slobodan od ћene? Ne traћi ћene. BSB BSB: Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
28 STF Ali ako se i oћeniљ, nisi sagrijeљio; i djevica ako se uda, nije sagrijeљila. Ali takvi ce imati tjelesnu nevolju, a ja bih vas rado poљtedio. BSB BSB: But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29 STF Ovo hocu reci, braco: Vrijeme je kratko. Odsele i koji imaju ћene, neka budu kao da ih nemaju; BSB BSB: What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
30 STF i koji placu, kao da ne placu; i koji se vesele, kao da se ne vesele; i koji kupuju, kao da ne posjeduju; BSB BSB: those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;
31 STF i koji uћivaju ovaj svijet, kao da ga ne uћivaju, jer- prolazi oblicje ovoga svijeta. BSB BSB: and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
32 STF A rado bih da budete bezbriћni. Neoћenjen se brine za Gospodnje, kako da ugodi Gospodinu. BSB BSB: I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.
33 STF A oћenjen se brine za svjetovno, kako da ugodi ћeni, BSB BSB: But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
34 STF pa je razdijeljen. I ћena neudana i djevica brine se za Gospodnje, da bude sveta i tijelom i duhom; a udana se brine za svjetovno, kako da ugodi muћu. BSB BSB: and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.
35 STF Ovo pak govorim vama na korist, ne da vam postavim zamku, nego da primjerno i nesmetano budete privrћeni Gospodinu. BSB BSB: I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.
36 STF Misli li tko da je neprilican prema svojoj djevici kad je preћivotan i s njome mora biti, neka cini љto je nakanio, ne grijeљi: neka se uzmu. BSB BSB: However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.
37 STF Tko je pak nepokolebljivo stalan u srcu te nema potrebe, a u vlasti mu je volja pa to odluci u svom srcu- cuvati svoju djevicu- dobro cini. BSB BSB: But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.
38 STF Tako, tko se oћeni svojom djevicom, dobro cini, a tko se ne oћeni, bolje cini. BSB BSB: So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.
39 STF Ћena je vezana dokle ћivi muћ njezin. Umre li muћ, slobodna je: neka se uda za koga hoce, samo u Gospodinu. BSB BSB: A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, as long as he belongs to the Lord.
40 STF Bit ce ipak blaћenija ostane li onako, po mojem savjetu. A mislim da i ja imam Duha Boћjega. BSB BSB: In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
