1Corinthians:7:10-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now to those who have married I command ,
yet not I ,
but the Lord :
A wife is not to be separated from her husband -
*
and even if she does separate ,
let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband-and a husband is not to divorce his wife .
*
But to the rest I ,
not the Lord ,
say :
If any brother has an unbelieving wife ,
and she consents to live with him ,
let him not divorce her .
*
And a wife who has an unbelieving husband ,
if he consents to live with her ,
let her not divorce him .
*
For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife ,
and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the husband ;
otherwise your children would be unclean ,
but now they are holy .
*
But if the unbelieving [
spouse ]
separates ,
let [
him or her ]
separate ;
the brother or the sister has not been bound in such cases ;
but God has called us to peace .
*
For how do you know ,
O wife ,
whether you will save your husband ?
Or how do you know ,
O husband ,
whether you will save your wife ?
*
Otherwise as God has distributed to each one ,
as the Lord has called each one ,
so let him walk .
And so I command in all the churches .
