Exegesis
The second participle gamon {γαμῶν | ga-mōn} ‘marrying’ coordinates with apolyon through kai...kai {καὶ...καὶ | kaí...kaí} ‘and...and,’ tightly linking divorce to remarriage.
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.
