🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)
By Necessity Paraphrased
24 - So in whatever condition each was called, let them remain so, with God. 25 And concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. 26 I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as they are. 27 Are you married? Don’t seek to not be. Are you not married? Don’t seek to be married. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. 29 This is what I mean, the appointed time {end of their age, 70CE} has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30 and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, 31 and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For all the fashion of this world is passing away.
