1 Corinthians 7:28-30

Expanded Bible

²⁸ But if you decide to marry, you have not sinned. And if a ·girl who has never married [or betrothed woman; ^Lvirgin] decides to marry, she has not sinned. But those who marry will have ·trouble [trials; tribulation] in ·this life [this world; ^Lthe flesh], and I want ·you to be free [to spare you] from trouble [^Cduring times of persecution, those with family obligations suffer the most].

²⁹ Brothers and sisters, this is what I mean: ·We do not have much time left [The time is short/limited/coming to an end]. So starting now, those who have wives should live as if they had no wives. ³⁰ Those who are ·crying [weeping; mourning] should live as if they were not ·crying [weeping; mourning]. Those who ·are happy [rejoice] should live as if they were not ·happy [rejoicing]. Those who buy things should live as if they ·own [or could keep/hold on to] nothing.
