1 Corinthians 7:30

they that weep . . . wept not—(Compare II Corinthians 6:10).

they that buy . . . possessed not—(Compare Isaiah 24:1-2). Christ specifies as the condemning sin of the men of Sodom not merely their open profligacy, but that "they bought, they sold," etc., as men whose all was in this world (Luke 17:28). "Possessed" in the Greek implies a holding fast of a possession; this the Christian will not do, for his "enduring substance" is elsewhere (Hebrews 10:34).
