And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
And if you're a woman married to someone who doesn't believe, but he's cool with staying married to you, don't leave him.
If your non-believing spouse wants to stay, stay, love can bridge the gap.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the city of Corinth was a major hub in the Roman Empire, known for its diverse population and pervasive pagan influences that often complicated Christian living. The Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthians to address practical questions about faith and daily life, including issues of marriage in a society where mixed-faith unions were common. This specific verse is part of Paul's counsel on maintaining marital harmony when one spouse becomes a believer and the other does not.
