Context — Living in the Present Agegenerated
1 Corinthians 7:31 discusses how Christians should navigate their lives while recognizing that the current world system is temporary. Paul emphasizes that while we engage with the world, we must not become overly attached, as everything we see is passing away. This teaching reflects a broader theme in the letter concerning how to live as believers in a secular society, balancing earthly responsibilities with spiritual priorities.

The Key Word — χρώμενοι, chraōgenerated
The participle χράομαι (i.e., *chraō*) means 'to use' or 'make use of.' It indicates employing something for a purpose, as in Acts 27:17, where it describes using a lifeboat. In this context, it suggests a careful engagement with worldly things, implying that they should be used wisely and not abused.
The present participle form indicates an ongoing action, suggesting that believers are continually using worldly things. This usage emphasizes a mindful approach, where one recognizes the temporary nature of these things and avoids becoming dependent on them.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) as 'and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them.' Other translations vary in their phrasing of χρώμενοι, with the KJV and ASV using 'as not abusing it,' while the WEB states 'as not using it to the fullest.'
The BSB's rendering of the phrase 'the present form is passing away' is echoed in the YLT as 'passing away is the fashion of this world,' while the ASV phrases it as 'the fashion of this world passeth away.' This shows a consensus on the transient nature of the world.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is παράγει, is passing away, which governs the entire statement. The structure includes a series of participial phrases that describe actions related to worldly engagement, indicating how believers should interact with their environment.
The sentence is complex, with several clauses that illustrate different aspects of life in the world. The main clause is supported by participial phrases that provide context on how to use worldly things without becoming overly attached.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
κόσμος appears in the Septuagint, often translating Hebrew terms that refer to the created order and its inhabitants. It is used to convey both the physical universe and the moral order within it, emphasizing the distinction between the divine and the worldly.
In this context, χράομαι does not have a direct Septuagint equivalent but aligns with the Hebrew concept of using resources wisely, as seen in Proverbs where wise stewardship is encouraged.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Corinthians 7:31 teaches that while we live in this world and use its resources, we should not become overly dependent on them. Paul reminds us that the world as we know it is temporary, and our focus should be on eternal matters.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means to engage with worldly resources and responsibilities while maintaining a perspective that recognizes their temporary nature, ensuring that they do not distract from spiritual priorities.
You can apply this by being mindful of how you spend your time and resources, ensuring that they align with your values and do not take precedence over your relationship with God.
Paul is indicating that the current state of the world and its systems are temporary and will eventually come to an end, encouraging believers to focus on what is eternal.
It is important because abusing worldly things can lead to a misplaced focus and attachment, which can distract from our spiritual calling and responsibilities.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what areas of my life do I find myself becoming too attached to worldly things?
- How can I ensure that my use of resources aligns with my spiritual values?
- What practices can I adopt to remind myself of the temporary nature of this world?
- How can I encourage others to maintain a proper perspective on worldly matters?

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
et qui utuntur hoc mundo, tamquam non utantur : præterit enim figura hujus mundi.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged. Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The Greek word χράομαι (i.e., *chraomai*) means 'to use' or 'make use of.' It can refer to employing something for a purpose or treating someone in a specific manner. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as using resources or dealing with others, notably in Acts and Corinthians. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.
χράομαι, χρῶμαι
(< χρή),
[in LXX for עשׂה, etc. ;]
to use, make use of: c. dat. (cf. M, Pr., 64, 158), Ac 27:17, I Co 9:12, 15, I Ti 1:8 5:23; μᾶλλον χρῆσαι (i.e. the opportunity; v. M, Pr., 247), I Co 7:21; as sometimes in late writers (cf. M, Pr., 64; Lft., Notes, 233), c. acc., I Co 7:31; of feelings, etc., to exercise, shew: II Co 1:17 3:12; c. adv., ἀποτόμως, to deal sharply, II Co 13:10; c. dat. pers. (cl.), to treat, deal with, Ac 27:3.†
χράομαι, from χρή, ‘‘necessity,’’ = “make for myself what is necessary with something,” hence c. dat. as in Ac 271? al.: cf.

Counted over the 13 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

κόσμος (kosmos) is derived from a root meaning 'order' or 'decoration.' It encompasses a range of meanings from 'ornament' to 'the universe' and 'mankind.' In the New Testament, it refers to the material world, human society, and worldly affairs, with verses such as 1 Peter 3:3 highlighting its use for adornment. The term also carries ethical connotations, often contrasting the godly with the ungodly.
Κόσμος our Translators have rendered ‘ world’ in every instance but one (1 Pet. iii. 3); αἰών often, though by no means invariably so; for (not to speak of εἰς αἰῶνα) see Ephes. ii. 2, 7; Col.i. 26. It may be a question whether we might not have made more use of ‘age’ in our Version: we have employed it but rarely,—only, indeed, in the two places which I have cited last. ‘Age’ may sound to us inadequate now: but it is quite possible that, so used, it would little by little have expanded and adapted itself to the larger meaning of the Greek word for which it stood. One must regret that, by this or some other like device, our Translators did not mark the difference between κόσμος (=mundus), the world contemplated under aspects of space, and αἰών (=seculum), the same contemplated under aspects of time; for the Latin, no less than the Greek, has two words, where we have, or have acted as…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word ὡς is an adverb and conjunction derived from the relative pronoun ὅς. It is used in various contexts to mean 'as,' 'like,' or 'when,' and can indicate manner, comparison, or time. In the New Testament, it appears frequently to express similarity or to introduce clauses, such as in comparisons or temporal phrases. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its usage.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete. But pris either an ad verb of negation, not (Lat. non, ne); or aconjunction, that... not, lest, (Lat. ne); or an interrogative particle, (Lat. num) [i. e.

The Greek word καταχράομαι (katachraomai) is built from the prefix κατα- meaning 'down' or 'fully' and the verb χράομαι meaning 'to use.' It covers a range of meanings including to use up, misuse, or exploit, with applications in both active and passive forms. The New Testament references include 1 Corinthians 7:31 and 9:18, where it emphasizes the idea of making full use of something.
κατα-χράομαι, -ῶμαι ; 1 aor. mid. inf. καταχρήσασθαι; in class. Grk. 1. to use much or excessively or ill. 2. to use up, consume by use, (Germ. v erbrauchen). 3. to use fully, the κατά intensifying the force of the simple verb (Germ. g ebrauchen), (Plato, Dem., Diod., Joseph., al.): 1 Co. vii. 31 [ef. B. § 133,18; W. 209 sq. (197) ]; τινί, ib. ix. 18.
καταχράομαι. The intensive force of this compound ‘‘use up,” ‘‘use to the full,” which is found in 1 Cor 731, may be illustrated from P Oxy II. 28114 (A.D. 20-50) where a woman lodges a complaint against her husband—6 δὲ Σαραπίων καταχρησάμενος τῆι φερνῇ εἰς ὃν ἠβούλετο λόγον οὐ διέλειπεν κακουχῶν pe καὶ ὑβρί[ζ]ων, “but Sarapion, having squandered my dowry as he pleased, continually ill-treated and insulted me” (Edd.): and similarly P Tebt II. 3341?

παράγω is built from the roots meaning 'beside' and 'to lead.' It covers a range of meanings including to lead past, depart, or pass away. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts such as passing by (Matthew 9:9, 27) and departing (John 8:59). Some lexicons note its use in a military context, while others emphasize its metaphorical applications.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

for (ki (conjunction), le, from 'el (preposition), and various other words. In the New Testament also the words are various, chiefly gar, kai gar, hoti (conjunctions); anti apo eis dia (accusative), epi (dative and accusative), peri (genitive), pros (genitive and accusative), huper (genitive) (prepositions)): the English Revised Version and the American Standard Revised Version give in many cases more literal or more accurate renderings than those in the King James Version.
In the New Testament the most important preps. from a doctrinal point of view are anti, "face to face," "over against," "instead," "on behalf of," peri, "around," "about," "concerning," huper, "over," "on behalf of." The first has been claimed as stating the substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice as contrasted with huper and peri, more frequently used of it.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word σχῆμα (schēma) means form, figure, or fashion, often referring to external appearance as opposed to reality. It is derived from the verb meaning 'to have' and encompasses a range of meanings, including manner of life and gestures. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like 1 Corinthians 7:31 and Philippians 2:7, where it emphasizes outward show.
σχῆμα, -τος, τό
(< ἔχω),
[in LXX: Is 3:17 (פֹּת) * ;]
figure, fashion: I Co 7:31, Phl 2:8.†
SYN.: v.s. μορφή
σχῆμα, -τος, τό, (ἔχω, σχεῖν), fr. Aeschyl. down, Lat. habitus (cf. Eng. haviour (fr. have) ], A. V. fashion, Vulg. Jigura [but in Phil. habitus], (tacitly opp. to the material or substance): τοῦ κόσμου τούτου, 1 Co. vii. 31; the habitus, as comprising everything in a person which strikes the senses, the figure, bearing, discourse, actions, manner of life, ete., Phil. ii. 7 (8). [Syn. see μορφή fin., and Schmidt ch. 182, 5.]
σχῆμα. The thought of ‘‘external bearing’’ or “ fashion”’ which in general distinguishes this word from μορφή, ‘‘ what is essential and permanent”’ (see s.v. μορφή), and which comes out so clearly in Phil 28, may be illustrated by such passages as the following: P Tor I. 1 vili-is2 (pic. 116) (= Chrest.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

κόσμος (kosmos) is derived from a root meaning 'order' or 'decoration.' It encompasses a range of meanings from 'ornament' to 'the universe' and 'mankind.' In the New Testament, it refers to the material world, human society, and worldly affairs, with verses such as 1 Peter 3:3 highlighting its use for adornment. The term also carries ethical connotations, often contrasting the godly with the ungodly.
Κόσμος our Translators have rendered ‘ world’ in every instance but one (1 Pet. iii. 3); αἰών often, though by no means invariably so; for (not to speak of εἰς αἰῶνα) see Ephes. ii. 2, 7; Col.i. 26. It may be a question whether we might not have made more use of ‘age’ in our Version: we have employed it but rarely,—only, indeed, in the two places which I have cited last. ‘Age’ may sound to us inadequate now: but it is quite possible that, so used, it would little by little have expanded and adapted itself to the larger meaning of the Greek word for which it stood. One must regret that, by this or some other like device, our Translators did not mark the difference between κόσμος (=mundus), the world contemplated under aspects of space, and αἰών (=seculum), the same contemplated under aspects of time; for the Latin, no less than the Greek, has two words, where we have, or have acted as…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

__A ORIGIN and FORMS: οὗτος, αὕτη, τοῦτο probably arose from a reduplication of the demonstrative ὁ, ἡ, τό with insertion of -υ- (= Sanskrit Particle u), e.g. ταῦτα from τα-υ-τα: Doric dialect genitive singular feminine τούτας [Refs 5th c.BC+], etc., the latter is uncertain in [Refs 5th c.BC+], as genitive singular neuter οὕτω [Refs 3rd c.BC+]; accusative singular feminine οὕταν [Refs 6th c.BC+] —In _Attic dialect_ οὗτος was frequently strengthened by the _demonstrative_ -ί, οὑτοσί, αὑτηί, τουτί, _genitive_ τουτουί, _dative_ τουτῳί, _accusative_ τουτονί; plural nominative οὑτοιί, neuter ταυτί, etc., this man here…

Read the full entry →οὗτος demonstr. Pron. this, Lat. hic, to designate the nearer of two things, opp. to ἐκεῖνος, the more remote (cf. ὅδε), Hom., etc.
when, of two things, one precedes and the other follows, ὅδε generally refers to what follows, οὗτος to what precedes, Soph., etc.
so also, οὗτος is used emphat., generally in contempt, while ἐκεῖνος (like Lat. ille) denotes praise, ὁ πάντ᾽ ἄναλκις οὗτος, i. e. Aegisthus, id. Soph.; οὗτος ἀνήρ Plat.; τούτους τοὺς συκοφάντας id. Plat.
in attic law-language, οὗτος is commonly applied to the opponent, whether plaintiff or defendant, whereas in Lat. hic was the client, iste the opponent, Dem.
often much like an adv., in local sense (cf. ὅδε init.), τίς δ᾽ οὗτος κατὰ νῆας ἔρχεαι; who art thou here that comest . . ? Il.; often in attic, τίς οὑτοσί; who's this…
