12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. |
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. |
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. |
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. |
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? |
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. |
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. |
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. |
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. |
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. |
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. |
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. |
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. |
