The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as shown in the 1Corinthians 7:12; with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

In verse 12 of 1Corithians 7, Paul kicks in with his own thoughts on the matter at hand. Lets see what we may learn from him in them.


1Corinthians 7:12-16 "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. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" (KJV)

1Corinthians 7:12-16 "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. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?" (ESV)

1Corinthians 7:12-16 "The brother who asked about his unbelieving wife: my advice is to remain committed to her as long as she is prepared to remain with you. (Unbelief: not believing the truth about themselves as revealed in the gospel of the grace of GOD [1Corinthians 1:30]) The same goes for the lady with the unbelieving husband; if he is pleased to be with you then you have no reason to divorce him. In principle the unbelieving husband is sanctified by his wife's faith, and the unbelieving wife, by her husband's faith. If that was not true then your children would be contaminated by the unbelieving partner; yet they are pure because of the one partner's faith. The individual's faith blesses the whole family. (Faith does not exclude; GOD's faith includes!) Yet if the unbelieving partner desires to divorce, then let it be. Pursue peace rather than force friendship. To fake friendship is not worth it; not even for the sake of possibly winning your partner to the LORD!" (The Mirror)

In seventeen Paul tells that we should live as we have been called. The LORD willing we shall look into that in our next visit.
