1 Korintus 7:29

7:29 And I say this, brothers and sisters: ¹  The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none,

1 Korintus 7:35

7:35 I am saying this for your benefit, not to place a limitation on you, but so that without distraction you may give notable and constant service to the Lord.

1 Korintus 16:2

16:2 On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income ²  and save ³  it to the extent that God has blessed you, ⁴  so that a collection will not have to be made ⁵  when I come.

[7:29]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[16:2]  ² tn Grk “set aside, storing whatever he has been blessed with.”

[16:2]  ³ tn Grk “set aside, storing.” The participle θησαυρίζων (qhsaurizwn) indicates the purpose or result of setting aside the extra income.

[16:2]  ⁴ tn “To the extent that God has blessed you” translates an awkward expression, “whatever has been prospered [to you].” This verb has been translated as an active with “God” as subject, taking it as a divine passive.

[16:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “so that collections will not be taking place.”
