But I said, ‘Surely not, Lord! For nothing defiled or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
When they saw some of his disciples eating bread with hands that were defiled (that is, unwashed), they criticized them.
Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat.’
The voice from heaven responded to me a second time: ‘Do not regard as defiled what God has made clean.’
I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in and of itself, but it is unclean for anyone who considers it to be unclean.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
