Thematic Bible: Who commits adultery


Thematic Bible




"And it was said, 'Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;' but I say to you, that every one who puts away his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her commit adultery: and whosoever marries her when put away commits adultery.

And He saith to them, "Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her; and, if she herself, having put away her husband, marries another, she commits adultery."

"Every one who puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband, commits adultery.

Or, are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know law), that the law has dominion over the man as long as he lives? For the married woman has been bound by law to the living husband; but, if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of the husband. So, then, if, while the husband is living, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but, if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.
