World English Bible
"and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away."
— 1 Corinthians 7:31, World English Bible
“And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.”
“and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth 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 if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
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 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;
and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world--how she may please her husband.
