For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

For, through his wife, the husband who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ’s people; and the wife who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ’s people through the Lord's follower whom she has married. Otherwise your children would be ‘defiled,’ but, as it is, they belong to Christ’s people.

Denn der ungläubige Mann ist geheiligt durch das Weib, und das ungläubige Weib ist geheiligt durch den Bruder; sonst wären ja eure Kinder unrein, nun aber sind sie heilig.

Porque el marido infiel es santificado en la mujer, y la mujer infiel en el marido: pues de otra manera vuestros hijos serían inmundos; empero ahora son santos.

Porque o marido descrente é santificado pela mulher; e a mulher descrente é santificada pelo marido. Pois de outra maneira vossos filhos seriam impuros; porém agora são santos.

Pois o marido descrente é santificado por causa da sua esposa, e a mulher descrente é santificada porque o seu marido é crente. Caso contrário, os seus filhos poderiam ser impuros, quando na realidade são santos.
