1Cor 7:10-11 | NETfull | STEP | To the married I give this command – not I, but the Lord

1 Corinthians 7:10-11

10 To the married I give this command – not I, but the Lord ^{▼▼ Not I, but the Lord. Here and in v. 12 Paul distinguishes between his own apostolic instruction and Jesus’ teaching during his earthly ministry. In vv. 10–11, Paul reports the Lord’s own teaching about divorce (cf. Mark 10:5–12).} – a wife should not divorce a husband 11 (but if she does, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband should not divorce his wife.
