This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15. οὐ δεδούλωται. Literally, is not enslaved. The Roman Catholic divines, e.g. à Lapide and Ambrosiaster, as well as the Canon law, held that in the case of the heathen partner divorcing the other when he or she embraced Christianity, the Christian was justified in contracting a fresh marriage. See Wordsworth, in loc. Also Chrysostom cited above, 1Co 7:10. The law countenanced this view, for after divorce the previous marriage had of course no validity.

ἐν εἰρήνῃ. In peace, as R.V., and A.V. in margin.
