Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ep autēn {ἐπʼ αὐτήν | ep au-tḗn} ‘against her’ uses the preposition with the accusative to highlight the direction of the wrong done to the first wife. The English renderings preserve the generic “whoever” construction in the formal version, while the dynamic version uses an explicit “if a man” clause to convey the same conditional force and maintain the causal flow from actions (divorce and remarriage) to result (adultery against the first wife).
