  1. 27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
  2. 28But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.
  3. 29But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;
  4. 30and 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;
  5. 31and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
