I Corinthians 7:10-16 10Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 11But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 12But 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.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 13And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 15But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
I Corinthians 7:10-16 10Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 11But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.
If believers’ divorce they are to remain unmarried to allow for reconciliation.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 12But 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.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 13And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 15But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
“I not the Lord say.” • Vs 12 “I not the Lord” means additional not uninspired.
“To the rest.” • The Matthew 19 passage contextually deals with value of marriage and women in the controversy of Hillel vs. Shammai. • “To the rest” refers to another group of people for whom the Matthew 19 does not totally apply as they face a different problem.
“Willing to live with.” • From the Greek word suneudokevw(suneudokeo) • Dwell together in a good way. • Further means to agree with, approve of, consent to, sympathize with. • The unbeliever agrees to live like a believer.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
“Let him depart” is a permissive command. • When the unbeliever wants out divorce is commanded! • The believer is released from bondage of marriage to an unbeliever (dedouvlwtai- literally slavery). • God has called you to peace.
I Corinthians 7:10-16 15But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.
At liberty to be married to whom she wishes, but only in the Lord.
