1 Corinthians 6:16

Context
6:16 Or do you not know that anyone who is united with 1  a prostitute is one body with her? 2  For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” 3 

1 Corinthians 7:13-14

Context
7:13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him. 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified because of the wife, and the unbelieving wife because of her husband. 4  Otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

1 tn Or “is in relationship with.”

2 tn Grk “is one body,” implying the association “with her.”

3 sn A quotation from Gen 2:24.

4 tc Grk “the brother.” Later witnesses (א2 D2 Ï) have ἀνδρί (andri, “husband”) here, apparently in conscious emulation of the earlier mention of ἀνήρ (ajnhr) in the verse. However, the earliest and best witnesses (Ì46 א* A B C D* F G P Ψ 33 1739 al co) are decisively in favor of ἀδελφῷ (adelfw, “brother”), a word that because of the close association with “wife” here may have seemed inappropriate to many scribes. It is also for reasons of English style that “her husband” is used in the translation.
