^{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 to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let not a wife separate from a husband:

^{11 Ref} but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.

^{12 Ref} And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;

^{10 Ref} But to the married I command--not I, but the Lord--that the wife not leave her husband

^{11 Ref} (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

^{12 Ref} But to the rest I--not the Lord--say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
