And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. |
and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away. |
and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away. |
|
those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. |
And those who deal with this world [overusing the enjoyments of this life] as though they were not absorbed by it and as if they had no dealings with it. For the outward form of this world (the present world order) is passing away. |
and those who are making use of this world [the things of human existence] as not making excessive use of the same, for the temporary fashion of this world is passing away. |
|
and indeed their every contact with the world must be as light as possible, for the present scheme of things is rapidly passing away. |
and those who are enjoying the world as though they were not entirely absorbed in it. For the outward order of this world is passing away. |
