page 224 note 1 If it can be maintained that in II Cor. vi. 14-vii. 1 Paul is speaking not against immorality as such but against mixed marriages (as is possibly indicated by vi. 14 and by the addition in vi. 18 of καλ θυγατέρας to the quotation of II Sam. vii. 14) then it will be seen that Paul's attitude has hardened. In both letters he speaks against mixed marriages in the future, but in II Cor. vi. 14-vii. 1 he appears to encourage the dissolution of existing mixed marriages.
