Verse 32
Paul wanted his readers to be free from concerns about this present life so devotion to the Lord would be consistent (1 Corinthians 7:35; cf. Matthew 6:25-34; Philippians 4:11; 1 Peter 5:7). He wanted us to live as eschatological people. Our new existence in Christ should determine our lives, not the world in its present form. Buying and marrying should not determine our existence. A clear view of the future should do that.
