29. And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened--that both those having wives may be as not having;
30. and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
31. and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.
32. And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
33. and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.
