1 Corinthians 7:15-17
International Children’s Bible
15 But if the person who is not a believer decides to leave, let him leave. When this happens, the brother or sister in Christ is free. God called us[a] to a life of peace. 16 Wives, maybe you will save your husband; and husbands, maybe you will save your wife. You do not know now what will happen later.
Live As God Called You
17 But each one should continue to live the way God has given him to live—the way he was when God called him. This is a rule I make in all the churches.
