1 Corinthians 7:29 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

27 Es-tu lié à une femme, ne cherche pas à rompre ce lien; n’es-tu pas lié à une femme, ne cherche pas une femme.

28 Si tu t’es marié, tu n’as point péché; et si la vierge s’est mariée, elle n’a point péché; mais ces personnes auront des tribulations dans la chair, et je voudrais vous les épargner.

29 Voici ce que je dis, frères, c’est que le temps est court; que désormais ceux qui ont des femmes soient comme n’en ayant pas,

30 ceux qui pleurent comme ne pleurant pas, ceux qui se réjouissent comme ne se réjouissant pas, ceux qui achètent comme ne possédant pas,

31 et ceux qui usent du monde comme n’en usant pas, car la figure de ce monde passe.
