1 Corinthians 7:10-16 - About Married People

¹⁰ To those already married my instructions are??nd they are not mine, but the Lord's??hat a wife is not to separate from her husband. ¹¹ If she does separate, she must remain single or else become reconciled to him. And a husband must not divorce his wife. ¹² To other people I would say, though not as Christ's command, if a Christian has a wife who is not a believer, and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her, ¹³ and a woman who has a husband who is not a believer, but is willing to live with her, must not divorce her husband. ¹⁴ For the husband who is not a believer is consecrated through union with his wife, and the woman who is not a believer is consecrated through union with her Christian husband, for otherwise your children would be unblessed, but, as it is, they are consecrated. ¹⁵ But if the one who is not a believer wishes to separate, let the separation take place. In such cases the brother or sister is not a slave; God has called you to live in peace. ¹⁶ For how do you wives know whether you will save your husbands? Or how do you husbands know whether you will save your wives?
