1 Corinthians 7:13

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband--if he consents to live with her, let her not separate from him.

Weymouth NT (1912)

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 the rest it is I who speak--not the Lord. If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.

14For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become--and is--holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.
