1 Corinthians 7:31 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

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.

32 Or, je voudrais que vous fussiez sans inquiétude. Celui qui n’est pas marié s’inquiète des choses du Seigneur, des moyens de plaire au Seigneur;

33 et celui qui est marié s’inquiète des choses du monde, des moyens de plaire à sa femme.
