10. Now to the married I command, not I, but the Lord, do not let the wife depart from her husband.
11. But if she departs, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And do not let the husband divorce his wife.
12. To the rest I speak, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife who consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
13. And if the woman has an unbelieving husband who consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.
14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean. But now they are holy.
15. But if the unbeliever departs, let that one depart. A brother or a sister is not bound in such cases. God has called us to peace.
16. For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
17. But as God has given to every man and as the Lord has called every man, so let him walk. This I command in all churches.
18. Is any man called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Is any man called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.
19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God is everything.
20. Let each man remain in the same condition in which he was called.
21. Were you called while a servant? Do not worry about it. But if you may become free, do so.
22. For he who is called in the Lord while a servant is the Lord’s freeman. Likewise, he who is called while free is Christ’s servant.
23. You were bought at a price. Do not be the servants of men.
