1 Corinthians 7:29-33

29But thisG3778 I sayG5346, brethrenG80, 1the timeG2540 has beenG1510 shortenedG4958, soG2443 that from nowG3062 on thoseG3588 who haveG2192 wivesG1135 should be as thoughG5613 they hadG2192 noneG3361; 30and thoseG3588 who weepG2799, as thoughG5613 they did not weepG2799; and thoseG3588 who rejoiceG5463, as thoughG5613 they did not rejoiceG5463; and thoseG3588 who buyG59, as thoughG5613 they did not possessG2722; 31and thoseG3588 who useG5530 the worldG2889, as thoughG5613 they did not 2makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 of it; for 3the formG4976 of thisG3778 worldG2889 is passingG3855 awayG3855.

One who is 4unmarriedG22 is concernedG3309 about the things of the LordG2962, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 the LordG2962; 33but one who is marriedG1060 is concernedG3309 about the things of the worldG2889, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 his wifeG1135,
