1 Corinthians 7:31

Concerning The Unmarried

³⁰ and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; ³¹ and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away. ³² But I would have you without worry. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
