29 I'm telling you, brothers and sisters, that time is short, and from now on for those who are married it may seem as if they are not married,

30 and those who weep as if they did not weep, and those that celebrated as if they had not celebrated, and those that bought as if they did not own,

31 and those who are engaged with the world as if it is not fulfilling—for the present world order is passing away.[29]
