29. And this I say, brothers, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none,
30. and those who weep as though they did not weep, and those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, and those who buy as though they did not possess,
31. and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the scene of this world is passing away.
32. And I wish you to be without concern. He who is unmarried is concerned about the matters of the Master – how to please the Master.
