1 Corinthians 7:13

and a woman who is married to a man, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with her, should not divorce her husband.

Twentieth Century New Testament

In The King James Version

And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

In Context

12To all others I say — I, not the Master — If a Brother is married to a woman, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with him, he should not divorce her;

Otherwise your children would be ‘defiled,’ but, as it is, they belong to Christ’s People.
