1 Corinthians 7:29-34

29But I say this, believers: the time has been shortened, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they did not;

30and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess [anything];

31and those who use the world [taking advantage of its opportunities], as though they did not make full use of it. For the outward form of this world [its present social and material nature] is passing away.

32But I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

33but the married man is concerned about worldly things, how he may please his wife,

34and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or the virgin is concerned about the matters of the Lord, how to be holy and set apart both in body and in spirit; but a married woman is concerned about worldly things, how she may please her husband.
