1 Corinthians 7:12

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she assents to dwell with him, let him not send her away.

See the chapter Copy

And if also she be separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to the husband: and the husband not to send away the wife.

And the woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he assents to dwell with her, let her not send him away.

But for virgins I have not an order of the Lord: and I give an opinion as compassionated by the Lord to be faithful.

Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not a release. Hast thou been loosed from a wife seek thou not a wife.

And this I say according to indulgence, not according to order.

What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in madness, in this first principle of boasting.
