Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 7
27
Are you bound to a wife? Don't seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don't seek a wife.
28
But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
29
But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
30
and those who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn't possess;
31
and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
