{For so long time as her husband liveth} (eph' hoson
chronon z(8869) ho an(8872) aut(8873)). While he lives ( (9369) z(936e)ti andri)
Paul says in Ro 7:2 . This is the ideal and is pertinent today
when husbands meet their ex-wives and wives meet their
ex-husbands. There is a screw loose somewhere. Paul here treats
as a sort of addendum the remarriage of widows. He will discuss
it again in 1Ti 5:9-13 and then he will advise younger widows
to marry. Paul leaves her free here also to be married again,
"only in the Lord" (monon en Kuri(9369)). Every marriage ought to
be "in the Lord." {To be married} (gam(8874)h(886e)ai) is first aorist
passive infinitive followed by the dative relative h(9369) with
unexpressed antecedent out(9369).
