1 Corinthians 7:13-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce her husband.

14. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through the believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, whereas instead they are holy.

15. But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart. For a brother or sister cannot be made subject to servitude in this way. For God has called us to peace.

16. And how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

17. However, let each one walk just as the Lord has distributed to him, each one just as God has called him. And thus do I teach in all the churches.

18. Has any circumcised man been called? Let him not cover his circumcision. Has any uncircumcised man been called? Let him not be circumcised.

19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; there is only the observance of the commandments of God.
