1 Corintios 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 7:11

But and if she depart
This is said, not as allowing of such a departure, which only in case of fornication is lawful; but supposing it a fact, that a woman cannot be prevailed upon to stay with her husband, but actually forsakes him upon some difference arising between them,

let her remain unmarried:
she ought not to marry another man; her departure does not make the marriage void; nor is it to be made void by any difference between them, either on religious or civil accounts, only in case of adultery; and therefore, if upon such separation she marries, she is guilty of adultery:

or be reconciled to her husband;
which is rather to be chosen, than to remain separate, though unmarried; if she has given the offence, and is the cause of the separation, she ought to acknowledge it, and ask forgiveness of her husband, and return to him and live in peace with him; and if the fault is on his side, she ought to make use of all proper methods to convince him of it, bring him into good temper, forgive any injury done her, and live peaceably and comfortably together:

and let not the husband put away his wife;
as the Jews were wont to do, upon every trifling occasion; (See Gill on Matthew 5:31) (See Gill on Matthew 5:32)

1 Corintios 7:11 In-Context

9 Pero si carecen de dominio propio, cásense; que mejor es casarse que quemarse.

10 A los casados instruyo, no yo, sino el Señor: que la mujer no debe dejar al marido

11 (pero si lo deja, quédese sin casar, o de lo contrario que se reconcilie con su marido), y que el marido no abandone a su mujer.

12 Pero a los demás digo yo, no el Señor, que si un hermano tiene una mujer que no es creyente, y ella consiente en vivir con él, no la abandone.

13 Y la mujer cuyo marido no es creyente, y él consiente en vivir con ella, no abandone a su marido.
