American Standard Version
"and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away. "
— 1 Corinthians 7:31, American Standard Version
“And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.”
“and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.”
“those who use the world as though they were not using it to the full. For the present shape of this world is passing away.”
“And they that use this world, as if they used it not. For the fashion of this world passeth away.”
“And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.”
“And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.”
But 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.
But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;
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 that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
and is divided. So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
