1 Corinthians 7:10-16 Holiness In Marriage

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him 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? The Bible teaches us that we should not be unequally yoked. That is a saint should not marry a person of the world. If they do, they are not apart of the Kingdom of God, but the kingdom of Satan. If a saint finds themselves married to a non-Christian, they should not conform to the world as the pagan does, but sanctify their partner in the Word of God and their Savior Jesus Christ so that the Holy Spirit may impart new life in this one so that they too become a Child of God and make their marriage Holy. This way too, the children have a good guide of what godliness looks like. Daily Prayer: Lord, give strength the those Christians who have a marriage partner who does not know you. By Your Spirit, impart new life in this one so that the marriage can mirror the kind of union you had in mind and may be made holy. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
