1 Corinthians 7:31

Concerning The Unmarried

³⁰ and they that weep, be as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, be as though they rejoiced not: And they that buy, be as though they possessed not: ³¹ And they that use this world, be as though they used it not: For the fashion of this world goeth away. ³² I would have you without care; the single man careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
