1 Corinthians 7:29
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
In context
27 Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29 What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
30 those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;
31 and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
