1 Corinthians 7:16 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

14 Porque el marido infiel es santificado en la mujer, y la mujer infiel en el marido: pues de otra manera vuestros hijos serían inmundos; empero ahora son santos.

15 Pero si el infiel se aparta, apártese: que no es el hermano ó la hermana sujeto á servidumbre en semejante [caso]; antes á paz nos llamó Dios.

16 Porque ¿de dónde sabes, oh mujer, si quizá harás salvo á tu marido? ¿ó de dónde sabes, oh marido, si quizá harás salva á tu mujer?

17 Empero cada uno como el Señor le repartió, y como Dios llamó á cada uno, así ande: y así enseño en todas las iglesias.

18 ¿Es llamado alguno circuncidado? quédese circunciso. ¿Es llamado alguno incircuncidado? que no se circuncide.
