ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૭:૨૯
ભાઈઓ, હું એ કહું છું કે હવે થોડો સમય બાકી રહેલો છે; જેઓએ લગ્ન કર્યા છે તેઓ લગ્ન કર્યાં વિનાના જેવા થાય.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ७:२९
हे भाइयों, मैं यह कहता हूँ, कि समय कम किया गया है, इसलिए चाहिए कि जिनके पत्नी हों, वे ऐसे हों मानो उनके पत्नी नहीं।

In context

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. 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.
