KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
When you're married to someone who doesn't believe, your faith actually covers them in a special way — and it covers your kids too. Otherwise your children would be outside God's family, but because of your belief, they're considered holy and set apart.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Your faith in marriage creates a protective covering over your whole family, even when your partner doesn't believe yet.
