1 Corinthians 7:29-31

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁹ I mean, brethren, the appointed time has been ^[a]winding down and it has grown very short. From now on, let even those who have wives be as if they had none,

³⁰ And those who weep and mourn as though they were not weeping and mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not possess anything,

³¹ And those who deal with this world [^[b]overusing the enjoyments of this life] as though they were not absorbed by it and as if they had no dealings with it. For the outward form of this world (the present world order) is passing away.
