1 Corinthians 7:10-14

10But to the marriedG1060 I giveG3853 instructionsG3853, 1not I, but the LordG2962, that the wifeG1135 is not to leaveG5563 her husbandG435 11(but ifG1437 she does leaveG5563, she must remainG3306 unmarriedG22, orG2228 elseG2228 be reconciledG2644 to her husbandG435), and that the husbandG435 is not to 2divorceG863 his wifeG1135.

12But to the restG3062 3I sayG3004, not the LordG2962, that ifG1487 anyG5100 brotherG80 hasG2192 an unbelievingG571 wifeG1135, and she consentsG4909 to liveG3611 with him, he must not 4divorceG863 her. 13And 5if anyG5100 womanG1135 hasG2192 an unbelievingG571 husbandG435, and he consentsG4909 to liveG3611 with her, she must not 6divorceG863 her husbandG435. 14For the unbelievingG571 husbandG435 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 his wifeG1135, and the unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 7her believingG80 husbandG80; forG1893 otherwiseG1893 your childrenG5043 are uncleanG169, but nowG3568 they are 8holyG40.
