1 Corinthians 7:8-14

8But I sayG3004 to the unmarriedG22 and to widowsG5503 that it is 1goodG2570 for them ifG1437 they remainG3306 2evenG2532 as I. 9But ifG1487 they do not haveG1467 self-controlG1467, 3let them marryG1060; for it is betterG2909 to marryG1060 thanG2228 to burnG4448 with passion.

10But to the marriedG1060 I giveG3853 instructionsG3853, 4not 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 5divorceG863 his wifeG1135.

12But to the restG3062 6I sayG3004, not the LordG2962, that ifG1487 anyG5100 brotherG80 hasG2192 an unbelievingG571 wifeG1135, and she consentsG4909 to liveG3611 with him, he must not 7divorceG863 her. 13And 8if anyG5100 womanG1135 hasG2192 an unbelievingG571 husbandG435, and he consentsG4909 to liveG3611 with her, she must not 9divorceG863 her husbandG435. 14For the unbelievingG571 husbandG435 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 his wifeG1135, and the unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 is sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 10her believingG80 husbandG80; forG1893 otherwiseG1893 your childrenG5043 are uncleanG169, but nowG3568 they are 11holyG40.
