1COR 7:8–7:16 ©

It is all right to get married, but it is wrong to get divorced. However, you should not force an unbelieving spouse to keep living with you.

It is all right to get married, but it is wrong to get divorced. However, you should not force an unbelieving spouse to keep living with you.

1 Corinthians 7:8-16

8Now I want to say this to you unmarried people and to you whose spouses have died: It would be good for you to remain unmarried as I am. 9But if you cannot control your sexual desires [EUP], you should get married. It is better to be married so that you can satisfy your sexual desires with your spouse than to constantly have a strong desire [EUP] for sexual relations.

10And now I will give a command for believers who are married. This is not a command from me alone; it also comes from the Lord Jesus. You married women must not separate from/divorce► your husbands! 11But if any of you do that, you must remain unmarried, or else you should be reconciled with your husband and live with him again. Similarly, men must not separate from/divorce► their wives.

12Now I say this to the rest of you, to those who became believers after they were married. This is what I am saying, not what the Lord has commanded. If someone has a wife who is not a believer, if she is willing to keep living with him, he must not divorce her. 13Similarly, if a woman has a husband who is not a believer, if he is willing to keep living with her, she must not divorce him. 14I say that because God has set apart every woman’s unbelieving husband for himself because of his wife being a believer, and God has set apart every man’s unbelieving wife for himself because of her husband being a believer. If that were not true, God would consider their children unacceptable. But, the fact is that God does consider them acceptable to him.

15However, if a woman’s husband who is not a believer or a man’s wife who is not a believer wants to leave, let him or her do so. The husband or wife who is a believer should not force the other one to stay. God has chosen us in order that we may live peacefully. 16You women believers should allow your unbelieving spouses to leave you if they want to, because there is no way that you can be sure that God will save your husband if you stay together [RHQ] (OR, perhaps God will save your husband if you stay together.) Similarly, you men who are believers, there is no way that you can be sure that God will save your wives if you stay together [RHQ] (OR, perhaps God will save your wives if you stay together.)
