I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.
Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.
To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not as the Lord would but as a fool.
