1 Corinzi 7:13

13 Parimente ancora la donna che ha un marito infedele, se egli consente d’abitar con lei, non lo lasci.

1 Corinzi 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 7:13

And the woman which hath an husband that believeth
The apostle puts the case both ways, there being the same reason for one as for another; that if she that was a sister, who was partaker of the grace of God, and a member of the church, had a husband to whom she was married before her conversion; who was an unbeliever, had no faith in Christ, nor any notion of the Gospel, but an infidel to both:

and if he be pleased to dwell with her;
loves her, and is willing to continue with her; neither puts her away from him, nor departs from her on account of her Christianity:

let her not leave him;
but continue, and cohabit with him as man and wife; this is the advice the apostle gives, as agreeably to the light of nature and reason; as becoming the Gospel of Christ, and as what might serve to recommend it, and spread the knowledge of it.

1 Corinzi 7:13 In-Context

11 E se pure ella si separa, rimanga senza maritarsi, o si riconcilii col marito. Il marito altresì non lasci la moglie.

12 Ma agli altri dico io, non il Signore: Se alcun fratello ha moglie infedele, ed ella consente d’abitar con lui, non la lasci.

13 Parimente ancora la donna che ha un marito infedele, se egli consente d’abitar con lei, non lo lasci.

14 Perciocchè il marito infedele è santificato nella moglie, e la moglie infedele è santificata nel marito; altrimenti, i vostri figliuoli sarebbero immondi; ma ora son santi.

15 Che se l’infedele si separa, separisi; in tal caso il fratello, o la sorella, non son sottoposti a servitù; ma Iddio ci ha chiamati a pace.
