On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He shows them that becoming Christians does not change their external state; and therefore advises every one to continue, in the general, in that state in which he was called,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The Christian calling did not dissolve the marriage covenant, but bind it the faster, by bringing it back to the original institution, limiting it to two persons, and binding them together for life. The believer is not by faith in Christ loosed from matrimonial bonds to an unbeliever, but is at once bound and made apt to be a better relative.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

the woman--a believer. let her not leave him--"her husband," instead of "him," is the reading of the oldest manuscripts The Greek for "leave" is the same as in 1Co 7:12, "put away"; translate, "Let her not put away [that is, part with] her husband." The wife had the power of effecting a divorce by Greek and Roman law.
