The King James Version Bible

1 Corinthians 7:26-31

  1. I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

  2. Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

  3. 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.

  4. But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

  5. 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;

  6. And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
