1 CORINTHIANS 7:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.”
For this world in its present form is passing away. — The cosmos in its morphē (form, arrangement) parerchetai (passes away), emphasizing the transient character of the present order. The present configuration of power, relationships, and values is temporary. This legitimizes the 'as if not' posture: why invest ultimate significance in what is ending? Believers are citizens of a future kingdom already inaugurated.
