1 Corinthians 7:10-12
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
But Do Not Divorce Your Christian Spouse
10 But to the ones having married I command (not I, but the Lord), that a wife not be separated from her husband— 11 but if indeed she is separated, let her remain unmarried or let her be reconciled to her husband— and that a husband not leave[a] his wife.
Do Not Divorce an Unbelieving Spouse Who Chooses To Stay
12 But to the rest I say, not[b] the Lord— if any brother has an unbelieving wife and this one consents to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
