1 Corinthians 7:12-14 Mixed Marriage. 23 Apr 2024
1Co 7:12 For other cases these instructions are my own, not the Lord's.
If one of the brothers has a wife who is not a believer,
and she is willing to stay with him, he should not divorce her;
13 and if a woman has a husband who is not a believer
and he is willing to stay with her, she should not divorce her husband.
14 You see,
the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife
and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through the brother.
If this were not so,
your children would be unclean,
whereas in fact they are holy.
Excerpt from THE NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE, copyright (c) 1985 by Darton, Longman & Todd, Ltd. and Doubleday, a division of Penguin Random House, Inc. Reprinted by Permission.
One marriage partner can sanctify his or her partner who is an unbeliever. I am so fortunate that Millet is a good believer.
Holy Children
Interestingly, even the children of a believer are holy!
Prayer
Jesus, thank you that one believer can sanctify his or her family.
