New Testament

1 Corinthians 7:11-21 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

11. But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

12. But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

13. And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

15. But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God hath called us to peace.

16. For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

17. But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

18. Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become circumcised.

19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20. Let every man continue in the same calling in which he was called.

21. Art thou called being a servant? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
