1 Corinthians 7:12-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² But to the rest ^(A)I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not ^[a]divorce her. ¹³ And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not ^[b]send her husband away. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through ^[c]her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are ^(B)holy. ¹⁵ Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called ^[d]us ^[e](C)to peace. ¹⁶ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will ^(D)save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
