1 Corinthians 7:15-20

15But if the unbelieving partners leave, let them go. Under these circumstances a Christian man or Christian woman is not bound ⌞by a marriage vow⌟. God has called you to live in peace.

16How do you as a wife know whether you will save your husband? How do you as a husband know whether you will save your wife?

17Everyone should live the life that the Lord gave him when God called him. This is the guideline I use in every church.

18Any man who was already circumcised when he was called to be a Christian shouldn’t undo his circumcision. Any man who was uncircumcised when he was called to be a Christian shouldn’t get circumcised.

19Circumcision is nothing, and the lack of it is nothing. But keeping what God commands is everything.

20All people should stay as they were when they were called.
