NASB
"But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;"
— 1 Corinthians 7:29, NASB
“But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;”
“But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none; ”
“But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;”
“And I say this, brothers and sisters: The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none,”
“This therefore I say, brethren: The time is short. It remaineth, that they also who have wives be as if they had none:”
“But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;”
“But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;”

But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.
But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;
and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
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.
But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
