1 Corinthians 7:30 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Corinthians 7:30

28 But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you.

29 But ^athis I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none,

30 those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,

31 and those who use this world as not ^amisusing it. For ^bthe form of this world is passing away.

32 But I want you to be without¹ care. ^aHe who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:30

And they that weep, as if they wept not - "Though sorrowful, yet always rejoicing." They that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not - Tempering their joy with godly fear. They that buy, as if they possessed not - Knowing themselves to be only stewards, not proprietors.
