This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
While the husband liveth (zōntos tou andros). Genitive absolute of present active participle of zaō.
She shall be called (chrēmatisei). Future active indicative of chrēmatizō, old verb, to receive a name as in Act 11:26, from chrēma, business, from chraomai, to use, then to give an oracle, etc.
An adulteress (moichalis). Late word, in Plutarch, lxx. See note on Mat 12:39.
If she be joined (ean genētai). Third class condition, “if she come to.”
So that she is no adulteress (tou mē einai autēn moichalida). It is a fact that tou and the infinitive is used for result as we saw in Rom 1:24. Conceived result may explain the idiom here.
