1 Corinthians 7:29-35
29But thisG3778 I sayG5346, brothersG80, 1the timeG2540 has beenG1510 shortenedG4958, soG2443 thatG2443 fromG3062 nowG3062 onG3062 thoseG3588 who haveG2192 wivesG1135 should be asG5613 thoughG5613 they hadG2192 noneG3361; 30and thoseG3588 who weepG2799, asG5613 thoughG5613 they did not weepG2799; and thoseG3588 who rejoiceG5463, asG5613 thoughG5613 they did not rejoiceG5463; and thoseG3588 who buyG59, asG5613 thoughG5613 they did not possessG2722; 31and thoseG3588 who useG5530 the worldG2889, asG5613 thoughG5613 they did not 2makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 ofG2710 it; for 3the present formG4976 of thisG3778 worldG2889 is passingG3855 awayG3855.
32But I wantG2309 you to be freeG275 fromG275 concernG275. One who is 4unmarriedG22 is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the LordG2962, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 the LordG2962; 33but one who is marriedG1060 is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the worldG2889, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 his wifeG1135, 34and his interests are dividedG3307. The womanG1135 who is unmarriedG22, and the virginG3933, is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the LordG2962, that she may be holyG40 bothG2532 in bodyG4983 and spiritG4151; but one who is marriedG1060 is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the worldG2889, howG4459 she may pleaseG700 her husbandG435. 35I sayG3004 thisG3778 for your ownG846 benefitG4851, not to putG1911 a restraintG1029 onG1911 you, but 5to promoteG4314 whatG3588 is appropriateG2158 and to secure undistractedG563 devotionG2138 to the LordG2962.
