Exegesis
The second clause’s kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ plus ho {ὁ | ho} ‘the one’ with the perfect passive participle apolelyménēn {ἀπολελυμένην | apolelyménēn} ‘having been divorced’ and the aorist participle gamēsas {γαμήσας | gamēsas} ‘marrying her’ again culminates in moichâtai {μοιχᾶται | moichâtai} ‘commits adultery’. Rendering the relative-subjunctive and participial constructions as “whoever” or “anyone” and splitting the two kai-linked clauses into separate sentences clarifies the parallel judgments.
In context — Matthew 19:9
But I say to you, that whoever divorces his wife, except on account of sexual immorality , and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries the one who has been divorced also commits adultery .
