《圣经》（新旧约全书）

左咡

各人蒙召的时候是什么身分，仍要守住这身分。Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

左咡

你是作奴隶蒙召的吗，不要因此忧虑。若能以自由，就求自由更好。Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

左咡

因为作奴仆蒙召于主的，就是主所释放的人。作自由之人蒙召的，就是基督的奴仆。For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

左咡

你们是重价买来的。不要作人的奴仆。Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

弟兄们，你们各人蒙召的时候是什么身分，仍要在神面前守住这身分。Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

左咡

论到童身的人，我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜恤，能作忠心的人，就把自己的意见告诉你们Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

左咡

因现今的艰难，据我看来，人不如守素安常才好。I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

左咡

你有妻子缠着呢，就不要求脱离。你没有妻子缠着呢，就不要求妻子。Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

左咡

你若娶妻，并不是犯罪。处女若出嫁，也不是犯罪。然而这等人肉身必受苦难。我却愿意你们免这苦难。But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

左咡

弟兄们，我对你们说，时候减少了。从此以后，那有妻子的，要像没有妻子。But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
