## 1 Corinthians 7:29-30 in Context (Verses 26–33 KJV)
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/26) I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, *I say*, that *it is* good for a man so to be.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/27) Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/28) But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/29) But this I say, brethren, the time *is* short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/30) 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;
 
 [31 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/31) And they that use this world, as not abusing *it*: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/32) But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
 
 [33 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/7/33) But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please *his* wife.
