29. But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;
30. and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;
31. and those that use the world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32. But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33. but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
