1 Corinthians 7:10-17

10But to the married I give instructions, 1not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not 2leave her husband 11(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not 3divorce his wife.

12But to the rest 4I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not 5divorce her. 13And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not 6send her husband away. 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through 7her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are 8holy. 15Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called 9us 1011to peace. 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you will 12save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

17Only, 13as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And 14so I direct in 15all the churches.
