The apostle Paul wrote: “To the married people I give instructions, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not depart from her husband; but if she should actually depart, let her remain unmarried or else make up again with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife. ” ​ — 1 Corinthians 7: 10, 11.
Apustulis Pāvils rakstīja: ” Laulātiem es pavēlu, tomēr ne es, bet tas Kungs: sievai nešķirties no vīra, un ja tā ir atšķīrusies, tad tai palikt neprecētai, vai izlīgt ar savu vīru; un vīram neatstumt sievu. ”
