1 Corinthians 7:30

And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

And {G2532} they that weep {G2799}, as {G5613} though they wept {G2799} not {G3361}; and {G2532} they that rejoice {G5463}, as {G5613} though they rejoiced {G5463} not {G3361}; and {G2532} they that buy {G59}, as {G5613} though they possessed {G2722} not {G3361};

and those who are sad should live as if they weren’t, those who are happy as if they weren’t,

those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;
