1 Corinthians 7:29-34

29My Christian friends, this is what I mean: The time that remains is very short. So men who have wives should live as if they had no wife.

30People who are sad should live as if they were not sad. People who are happy should live as if they had nothing to laugh about. People who buy things should live as if those things do not belong to them.

31If you enjoy the things of this world, do not live as if those things are important. This world, as it is now, will soon finish.

32I do not want you to worry about troubles. A man who has not married wants to serve the Lord. He wants to live in a way that makes the Lord happy.

33But a man who has married thinks a lot about this world's things. He wants to live in a way that makes his wife happy.

34As a result, he thinks in two opposite ways. It is the same for a woman who has no husband, or a young girl who has not married. She wants to serve the Lord very well. She wants to be completely pure, both in her body and in her spirit. But a woman who has a husband has to think about this world's things. She wants to live in a way that makes her husband happy.
