1 Corinthians 7:10-17

10

To theG3588 marriedG1060 I give this commandG3853 (notG3756 IG1473, butG235 theG3588 LordG2962): A wifeG1135 must not separateG3361G5563 fromG575 her husbandG435. 11ButG1161 ifG1437 sheG5563 does, she must remainG3306 unmarriedG22 or elseG2228 be reconciledG2644 toG3588 her husbandG435. AndG2532 a husbandG435 must not divorceG3361G863 his wifeG1135.

12

To theG3588 restG3062 IG1473 say thisG3004 (I, notG3756 theG3588 LordG2962): IfG1487 aG5100 brotherG80 hasG2192 an unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 andG2532 sheG3778 is willingG4909 to liveG3611 withG3326 himG846, he must not divorceG3361G863 herG846. 13AndG2532 ifG1487 aG5100 womanG1135 hasG2192 an unbelievingG571 husbandG435 andG2532 heG3778 is willingG4909 to liveG3611 withG3326 herG846, she must not divorceG3361G863 him. 14ForG1063 theG3588 unbelievingG571 husbandG435 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 his believing wifeG1135, andG2532 theG3588 unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 her believing husbandG80. OtherwiseG1893G686 yourG4771 childrenG5043 would beG1510 uncleanG169, butG1161 nowG3568 they areG1510 holyG40.

15ButG1161 ifG1487 theG3588 unbelieverG571 leavesG5563, let him goG5563. TheG3588 believing brotherG80 orG2228 sisterG79 is not boundG3756G1402 inG1722 suchG5108 cases. GodG2316 has calledG2564 youG47711 to live inG1722 peaceG1515. 16HowG5101 do you knowG1492, wifeG1135, whetherG1487 you will saveG4982 your husbandG435? OrG2228 howG5101 do you knowG1492, husbandG435, whetherG1487 you will saveG4982 your wifeG1135?

17RegardlessG1487G3361, each oneG1538 should leadG4043 the life that theG3588 LordG2962 has assignedG3307 to him and to which GodG2316 has calledG2564 him. ThisG3779 is what I prescribeG1299 inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 churchesG1577.
