30 And they that [a]weep, as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not: and they that buy, as though they possessed not:

31 And they that use this [b]world, as though they used it not: for the [c]fashion of this world goeth away.

32 And I would have you without care. The unmarried careth for things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.
