29 And I say this, brothers, the season is shortened: finally, that both whoever have women be as not having;
30 and whoever weeps as not weeping; and whoever cheers as not cheering; and whoever buys as not holding;
31 and whoever uses this cosmos as not abusing: for the configuration of this cosmos passes away.
32 But I will that you be unanxious. whoever is unmarried is anxious for that of Adonay - how to please Adonay:
33 but whoever is married is anxious for that of the cosmos - how to please his woman.
34 There is difference between a woman and a virgin. The unmarried woman is anxious for that of Adonay - to be holy, both in body and in spirit: but whoever is married is anxious for that of the cosmos - how to please her man.
35 And I word this for your own benefit - not to lay a noose upon you; but for what is honorable with a view upon Adonay to undistracted devotion.
36 And if anyone presumes to misbehave toward his virgin, whenever she is beyond her acme and thus becomes indebted, to do as he wills, he sins not - have them marry.
37 And whoever stands grounded in his heart, not distressed, and has authority concerning his own will and thus judges in his heart to guard his virgin does well.
38 So whoever marries her off does well; and whoever marries her not off does better.
39 The woman is bound by the torah as long time as her man lives; but whenever her man sleeps, she is liberated to marry whom she so wills - only in Adonay.
40 But blessed - whenever she thus abides, after my opinion: and I also think I have the Spirit of Elohim.
