    8To the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to remain as I am.

    9But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

    10To the married I give this command—not I, but the Lord: A wife must not separate from her husband.

    11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

    12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

    13And if a woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

    14For the unbelieving husband is made holy through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
