1 Corinthians 7:14 - Additional Comments

Sanctified, in this context, does not mean that the unbelieving spouse is saved just by being married to a Christian. It simply means that they are set apart for a special working in their lives by the Holy Spirit, by virtue of being so close to someone who is a Christian. They will have some of the benefits of being a Christian, even though they themselves are not a Christian.
