Footnote

a EXPRESSION EXPLAINED: As used in the Bible, the terms “unbeliever” or “unbelieving” do not necessarily refer to a person who has no religious beliefs or who does not believe in God. (1 Cor. 7:12; see study note on “an unbelieving wife.”) As used in this article, such terms refer to a person who does not worship Jehovah God the way Jehovah’s Witnesses do.
