^{10 Ref} But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband

^{11 Ref} (Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.

^{12 Ref} But to the rest I say, and not the Lord; If a brother has a wife who is not a Christian, and it is her desire to go on living with him, let him not go away from her.

^{10 Ref} And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

^{11 Ref} But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

^{12 Ref} But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
