1 Corinthians 7:10
Compare all
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: aIt is good for them if they remain even as I am;  
9 but aif they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.  

Keep Your Marriage Vows

10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the aLord: bA wife is not to depart from her husband.  
11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.
12 But 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.
13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise ayour children would be unclean, but now they are holy.  
15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us ato peace.  
16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will asave your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?  

Live as You Are Called

17 But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And aso I ordain in all the churches.  
18 Was anyone called while circumcised? aLet him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.
