29 But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;
30 And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;
31 And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.
32 But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:
33 But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.
