1 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 1 Corinthians 7:12 I, not the Lord. Paul knows Jesus’ sayings on divorce that were later written in the Gospels (Matthew 5:32; Matthew 19:9; Mark 10:11; Luke 16:18). Jesus never spoke specifically about the situation of one spouse becoming a Christian and the other remaining unconverted, and yet Paul views his instruction here as authoritative and inspired by God (1 Corinthians 7:40; 1 Corinthians 14:37).
