1 Corinthians 7:31

Money and wealthContentment

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;

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.

32 I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.

33 But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
