1 Corinthians 7:12-16

12But to the restG3062 1I sayG3004, not the LordG2962, that ifG1487 anyG5100 brotherG80 hasG2192 a wifeG1135 who is an unbelieverG571, and she consentsG4909 to liveG3611 with him, he must not 2divorceG863 her. 13And a womanG1135 whoG3748 hasG2192 an unbelievingG571 husbandG435, and he consentsG4909 to liveG3611 with her, she must not 3sendG863 her husbandG435 awayG863. 14For the unbelievingG571 husbandG435 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 his wifeG1135, and the unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 4her believingG80 husbandG80; for otherwiseG1893 your childrenG5043 are uncleanG169, but nowG3568 they are 5holyG40. 15YetG1161 ifG1487 the unbelievingG571 oneG571 leavesG5563, let him leaveG5563; the brotherG80 orG2228 the sisterG79 is not underG1402 bondageG1402 in suchG5108 cases, but GodG2316 has calledG2564 6us 78to peaceG1515. 16For howG5101 do you knowG3609, O wifeG1135, whetherG1487 you will 9saveG4982 your husbandG435? OrG2228 howG5101 do you knowG3609, O husbandG435, whetherG1487 you will saveG4982 your wifeG1135?
