1 Corinthians 7:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. It is to peace that God has called you.[a] 16 Wife, for all you know, you might save your husband. Husband, for all you know, you might save your wife.
The Life that the Lord Has Assigned
17 However that may be, let each of you lead the life that the Lord has assigned, to which God called you. This is my rule in all the churches.
