1 Corinthians 7:12-20

New American Standard Bible

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

¹⁷ Only, ^(E)as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this way let him walk. And ^(F)so I direct in ^(G)all the churches. ¹⁸ Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? ^(H)He is not to be circumcised. ^19 (I)Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is ^(J)the keeping of the commandments of God. ^20 (K)Each person is to remain in that ^[g]state in which he was called.
