Corinthians 7:29-35
29 Brothers and sisters,
this is what I mean: We
do not have much time
left. So starting now,
those who have wives
should live as if they had
no wives.
30 Those who are crying
should live as if they were
not crying. Those who are
happy should live as if they
were not happy. Those
who buy things should live
as if they own nothing.
31 Those who use the
things of the world should
live as if they were not
using them, because this
world in it present form
will be gone.
32. I want you to be free
from worry. A man who
is not married is busy
with the Lord's work,
trying to please the Lord.
33. But a man who is
married is busy with
things of the world,
trying to please his wife.
34. He must think about
2 things - pleasing his
wife and pleasing the
Lord. A woman who is
not married or a girl who
has never married is
busy with the Lord's
work. She wants to be
holy in body and spirit.
But a married woman
is busy with things of
the world, as to how
she can please her
husband.
35. I am saying this
to help you, not to
limit you. But I want
you to live in the right
way, to give yourselves
fully to the Lord with-
out concern for other
things.
CONSIDER: ASKING
GOD TO REVEAL ANY
DISTRACTIONS IN
YOUR LIFE THAT KEEP
YOU FROM FOCUSING
YOUR LOVE ON HIM.
IN NEED OF PRAYER?
