1 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 1 Corinthians 7:14 made holy... are holy. These are the same terms used earlier for God’s separation of Corinthian Christians from their pagan environment as his special people (1 Corinthians 1:2; 1 Corinthians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 6:1, 1 Corinthians 6:2, 1 Corinthians 6:11). Unbelieving spouses and children in a family with a believing spouse are not saved by this connection (1 Corinthians 7:16), but they may benefit from the believer’s Christian influence. Thus they are more likely to have faith themselves eventually.
