Exegesis
The perfect passive participle apolelymenen {ἀπολελυμένην | a-po-le-lu-mé-nēn} ‘having been divorced’ in the second clause describes the woman’s prior state, while the prepositional phrase apo andros {ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς | apó an-drós} ‘from a husband’ specifies the source of her divorce. This syntactic structure yields two parallel conditional judgments that underline the moral and legal force of Jesus’ teaching on marriage fidelity.
In context — Luke 16:18
Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery , and whoever marries a woman who has been divorced from her husband commits adultery.
