30. and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;
31. and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.
32. But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
33. but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.
34. There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.
35. But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what is seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction.
