7.26 Necessitatem dicit penuriam sæculi quam sæpe patiuntur conjugati. Infirmis infirmam rationem prætendit. Posset enim digniorem reddidisse virginitatis rationem, ejus munus amplius commendando.

Angeli enim sine carne vivunt, virgines vero in carne triumphant.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
οὖν
therefore
Here, Therefore does not refer back to how Paul has received mercy from God. Rather, Therefore introduces the “opinion” that Paul said he was going to “give” (7:25). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Therefore with a word or phrase that introduces a statement that one has already spoken about. Alternate translation, changing the comma to a colon or a period: “Here is my opinion:”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τοῦτο καλὸν ὑπάρχειν διὰ τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν ἀνάγκην, ὅτι καλὸν
this good /to_be/_being because_of the /having/_presented necessity that good_‹it_is›
Here Paul repeats good, because in his language it was a natural way to remind the reader that he had already said this is good. If your language would not use repetition in this way, you could use only one good. Alternate translation: “that, because of the coming distress, it is good”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
τοῦτο καλὸν ὑπάρχειν διὰ τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν ἀνάγκην, ὅτι καλὸν ἀνθρώπῳ τὸ οὕτως εἶναι
this good /to_be/_being because_of the /having/_presented necessity that good_‹it_is› ˱for˲_/a/_man ¬which thus to_be
Here Paul interrupts his sentence to include the reason why he thinks that this is good advice. He does this to emphasize the coming distress. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate rearrange the sentence and represent the emphasis on the coming distress in another way. Alternate translation: “that it is good for a man to remain as he is. This is because of the coming distress”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν ἀνάγκην
the /having/_presented necessity
Here, coming could refer to: (1) something that is about to happen. Alternate translation: “of the distress that will soon be here” (2) something that is already happening. Alternate translation: “of the present distress”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν ἀνάγκην
the /having/_presented necessity
Here, distress could refer to: (1) general suffering and persecution of the church throughout the world. Alternate translation: “of the coming general distress” (2) suffering and difficulties that the Corinthian believers are experiencing. Alternate translation: “of the distress coming on your group”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀνθρώπῳ & τὸ οὕτως
˱for˲_/a/_man & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: νομίζω οὖν τοῦτο καλὸν ὑπάρχειν διὰ τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν ἀνάγκην ὅτι καλὸν ἀνθρώπῳ τὸ οὕτως εἶναι)
Here, the words translated man and he are written in masculine form, but they refer to anyone, no matter what their gender might be. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind man and heby using words that do not have gender, or you could use both genders. Alternate translation: “for a person … as he or she is”
τὸ οὕτως εἶναι
¬which thus to_be
Alternate translation: “to stay in the position he is in”
