But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also.

He said to them, "A man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his wife.

In the same way, a woman who divorces her husband and marries another man commits adultery."

"Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery; and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

For married people I have a command which is not my own but the Lord's: a wife must not leave her husband;

To the others I say (I, myself, not the Lord): if a Christian man has a wife who is an unbeliever and she agrees to go on living with him, he must not divorce her.

He even built pagan places of worship in the Judean highlands and led the people of Judah and Jerusalem to sin against the LORD.

Judah also saw that I divorced Israel and sent her away because she had turned from me and had become a prostitute. But Judah, Israel's unfaithful sister, was not afraid. She too became a prostitute

"As I passed by again, I saw that the time had come for you to fall in love. I covered your naked body with my coat and promised to love you. Yes, I made a marriage covenant with you, and you became mine." This is what the Sovereign LORD says.

"But you took advantage of your beauty and fame to sleep with everyone who came along.

You were also a prostitute for the Babylonians, that nation of merchants, but they didn't satisfy you either."

Now, it is actually being said that there is sexual immorality among you so terrible that not even the heathen would be guilty of it. I am told that a man is sleeping with his stepmother!

Then the king sent for Abram and asked him, "What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?

Why did you say that she was your sister, and let me take her as my wife? Here is your wife; take her and get out!"

One night God appeared to him in a dream and said, "You are going to die, because you have taken this woman; she is already married."

The LORD says, "If a man divorces his wife, and she leaves him and becomes another man's wife, he cannot take her back again. This would completely defile the land. But, Israel, you have had many lovers, and now you want to return to me!

A married woman, for example, is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if he dies, then she is free from the law that bound her to him.

So then, if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is legally a free woman and does not commit adultery if she marries another man.

A wife is not the master of her own body, but her husband is; in the same way a husband is not the master of his own body, but his wife is.

but if she does, she must remain single or else be reconciled to her husband; and a husband must not divorce his wife.

A married woman is not free as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, then she is free to be married to any man she wishes, but only if he is a Christian.
