NASB | 1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified [that is, he receives the blessings granted] through his [Christian] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be [ceremonially] unclean, but as it is they are holy. |
Bible Question: What does "sanctified through his wife" means in this verse |
Bible Answer: Sanctified primarily means 'set apart'. A man and his wife are one flesh. The unbelieving partner is influenced by the Godly life of the Christian partner; so that family is under the holy influence of the believer and in that sense is sanctified, or 'set apart' to God. Also, the children have the advantage of being under the sanctifying influence of one Christian parent (see v. 16) and so may be called holy. Nelson NKJV Study Bible, Zondervan NASB Study Bible. |
