"and those who weep, as though they were not weeping; and those who rejoice, as if they were not rejoicing; and those who buy, as if they possessed nothing; "
— 1 Corinthians 7:30, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;”
“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; ”
“and those who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn't possess;”
“those with tears like those not weeping, those who rejoice like those not rejoicing, those who buy like those without possessions,”
“And they that weep, as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not: and they that buy as if they possessed not:”
“And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;”
“And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;”
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free of a wife? Do not seek a wife.
But if you take a wife, you have not sinned. And if a virgin has married, she has not sinned. Even so, such as these will have the tribulation of the flesh. But I would spare you from this.
And so, this is what I say, brothers: The time is short. What remains of it is such that: those who have wives should be as if they had none;
and those who weep, as though they were not weeping; and those who rejoice, as if they were not rejoicing; and those who buy, as if they possessed nothing;
and those who use the things of this world, as if they were not using them. For the figure of this world is passing away.
But I would prefer you to be without worry. Whoever is without a wife is worried about the things of the Lord, as to how he may please God.
But whoever is with a wife is worried about the things of the world, as to how he may please his wife. And so, he is divided.
