1 Corinthians 7:10-17

10But unto the marriedG1060 I give chargeG3853, yea not I, but the LordG2962, That the wifeG1135 depart not from her husbandG435 11(but should she depart, let her remainG3306 unmarriedG22, or else be reconciled to her husbandG435); and that the husbandG435 leaveG863 not his wifeG1135. 12But to the restG3062 sayG3004 I, not the LordG2962: If any brotherG80 hath an unbelievingG571 wifeG1135, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leaveG863 her. 13And the womanG1135 that hath an unbelievingG571 husbandG435, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leaveG863 her husbandG435. 14For the unbelievingG571 husbandG435 isG1510 sanctifiedG37 in the wifeG1135, and the unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 isG1510 sanctifiedG37 in the brotherG80: else wereG1510 your childrenG5043 uncleanG169; but nowG1161 areG1510 they holyG40. 15Yet if the unbelievingG571 departeth, let him depart: the brotherG80 or the sisterG79 is not under bondageG1402 in suchG5108 cases: but GodG2316 hath calledG2564 us in peaceG1515. 16For how knowest thou, O wifeG1135, whether thou shalt saveG4982 thy husbandG435? or how knowest thou, O husbandG435, whether thou shalt saveG4982 thy wifeG1135? 17OnlyG1487, as the LordG2962 hath distributed to each manG1538, as GodG2316 hath calledG2564 each, so let him walkG4043. And so ordain I in all the churchesG1577.
