25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
26I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a man to be as he is.
27Are you bound to a wife? Don`t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don`t seek a wife.
28But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
29But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
30and those who weep, as though they didn`t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn`t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn`t possess;
31and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
