1 Corinthians 7:29-35

29ButG1161 thisG3778 I sayG5346, brethrenG80, the timeG3588G2540 is shortG4958: it remainethG1510, thatG2443 bothG2532 they thatG3588 haveG2192 wivesG1135 beG1510 as thoughG5613 they hadG2192 noneG3361;

30AndG2532 theyG3588 that weepG2799, as thoughG5613 they weptG2799 notG3361; andG2532 theyG3588 that rejoiceG5463, as thoughG5613 they rejoicedG5463 notG3361; andG2532 theyG3588 that buyG59, as thoughG5613 they possessedG2722 notG3361;

31AndG2532 theyG3588 that useG5530 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889, asG5613 notG3361 abusingG2710 it: forG1063 the fashionG3588G4976 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 passeth awayG3855.

32ButG1161 I would haveG2309 youG4771 without carefulnessG275. HeG3588 that isG1510 unmarriedG22 careth forG3309 the thingsG3588 that belong to the LordG3588G2962, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 the LordG3588G2962:

33ButG1161 heG3588 that is marriedG1060 careth forG3309 the thingsG3588 that are of the worldG3588G2889, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 his wifeG3588G1135.

34There is differenceG3307 also betweenG3307 a wifeG3588G1135 andG2532 a virginG3588G3933. The unmarriedG3588G22 woman careth forG3309 the thingsG3588 of the LordG3588G2962, thatG2443 she may beG1510 holyG40 bothG2532 in bodyG4983 andG2532 in spiritG4151: butG1161 sheG3588 that is marriedG1060 careth forG3309 the thingsG3588 of the worldG3588G2889, howG4459 she may pleaseG700 her husbandG3588G435.

35AndG1161 thisG3778 I speakG3004 forG4314 yourG4771 ownG846 profitG4851; notG3756 thatG2443 I may castG1911 a snareG1029 upon youG4771, butG235 forG4314 that which is comelyG2158, andG2532 that ye may attend uponG2145 the LordG3588G2962 without distractionG563.
