Keep Your Marriage Vows

¹⁰ Now to the married I command, yet not I but the ^(A)Lord: ^(B)A wife is not to depart from her husband. ¹¹ But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

¹² But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.

^39 (A)A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, ^(B)only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is happier if she remains as she is, ^(C)according to my judgment—and ^(D)I think I also have the Spirit of God.
