Old Testament

New Testament

1 Corinthians 7:11-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

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?
