1 Corinthians 7:29-34

29This is what I mean, brothers and sisters: The time is limited, so from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none,

30those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they didn’t own anything,

31and those who use the world as though they did not make full use of it. For this world in its current form is passing away.

32I want you to be without concerns. The unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord — how he may please the Lord.

33But the married man is concerned about the things of the world — how he may please his wife —

34and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the things of the world — how she may please her husband.
