First Reading
1 Corinthians 7:25-31
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
7:25Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord; but I give guidance, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.
26I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.
27Art you bound to a wife$1 seek not to be loosed. Art you loosed from a wife$1 seek not a wife.
28But if you take a wife, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she has not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have trouble of the flesh. But I spare you.
29This therefore I say, brothers and sisters; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;
30And those who weep, as though they wept not; and those who rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and those who buy, as though they had not;
31And those who use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
