By baptism into Christ we become spiritual Israel. If we are single, we should only marry within spiritual Israel, "in the Lord" (1 Cor.7:39) - i.e. other baptized believers "in Christ". If we are already married at the time of our baptism, we should not separate from our wives; our marital relationship is sanctified by reason of our faith (1 Cor. 7:12-14).
Kwa kubatizwa katika Kristo kiroho tunakuwa Israeli, kama hatujaoa, tuoe tu ndani ya Israeli kiroho,"Katika Bwana" (1Kor. 7:39) - yaani, mwamini mwingine aliyebatizwa 'Katika Kristo’ Ikiwa tayari tumeoa wakati tunabatizwa, tusitengane na wake zetu; uhusiano wetu wa ndoa unatakaswa kwa sababu ya imani yetu (1Kor. 7: 12 -14).
