Verses 10-11
No divorce for Christians whose mates are believers 7:10-11
Some Corinthian spouses wanted to abstain from intercourse (1 Corinthians 7:1-7), but some others apparently wanted to extricate themselves from their marriages altogether (1 Corinthians 7:10-16). [Note: Keener, p. 64.] Again Paul advised remaining as they were, but he also allowed an exception.
"While Paul displays ambivalence toward whether widowers and widows should get married (1 Corinthians 7:8-9), he consistently rejects the notion that the married may dissolve their marriages." [Note: Fee, The First . . ., p. 291.]
