And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. 1 Corinthians 1:14 (ESV) I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, However, after increased opposition, Paul turned to the Gentiles after being encouraged by a vision. Acts 18:9–10 (ESV) And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” He labored in Corinth for eighteen months until a church was established. |

Explain from I Corinthians 7 how you would respond to a believer, divorced from his living wife who is not yet remarried but does not desire reconciliation, the divorce occurring while both the husband and wife were in unbelief

Paul’s overwhelming teaching is that separation and divorce, pre- or post-Christ being of no consequence (“condition when called”), are not permissible for the Christian. Again, if one was called – effectively summoned to salvation by Christ, forgiven of sin, and justified – while a divorcee, coming to Christ – being forgiven – does not change the social status. The divorcee must remain as he / she is.
