14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. (A)Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you[a] (B)to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, (C)whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
