How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? same as husband to his wife

1 Corinthians 7:10-24

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.  How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts. Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.

Is divorce between Christians permissible? No.

What about the unconverted husband or wife? Christians are to stick to their pagan partners unless the partner wants separation.

Why?

Christians' marriages are made before the Lord, so divorce between Christians is not allowed.

Married with an unbeliever as a couple, unless the unbeliever separates, we can't separate the couple. How do you know, wife, where you will save your husband? Or How do your know, husband, whether you will save your wife? This is the mission of every Christian.

Circumcision is nothing, but our heart needs to be circumcised.

-------------------

已婚的人不可因為信仰不同而離婚,主要不可為婚外情合法化。神祝福信主的人,也透過這個信主的人臨到其他家人。所以首先信主的人,見證很重要。

強調和睦生活,情願同住,信的一方就有信的機會。

人信主要做好原來的角色,不要對於現在不滿。守住現在的身份、職權也是神的旨意,不要藉職權強迫,做人好的見證。重要是與神的關係,神安排人在不同角色藉著順服人來順服天上的神,無論奴僕或是主人,在神面前價值一樣(神的僕人),只是崗位不同。

How?

Marriage is holy between husband and wife and we have the Lord as our witness. So this covenant stands forever to show our life is being to the Lord.
