1 Corinthians 7:13-24 ⓘ

7:13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

7:15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

7:16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

7:17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

7:18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.

7:20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.

7:21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

7:22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.

7:23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.

7:24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
