Answer Question
1 Corinthians 7:29-31
29 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not;
30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep;
31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
Can you explain this to me? I don't really understand by what he meant when he said "live as if they do not". It almost, concerning the married, is saying do not attend to the spouse. I know this is NOT what he meant, so I'm curious as to what he meant by this.
