Mt. 19:9, “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.” 

Part A

Whosoever

Puts Away (for fornication) Remarries Another No Adultery

Puts Away (not for fornication) Remarries Another Commits Adultery

Part B

Whoso

Is Put Away Remarries Commits Adultery

[Includes both categories of put away people described in the first half of this verse (See charts below)

 


 

Lk. 16:18, “Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.”

Part A

Whosoever

Puts Away – (wrongfully) Remarries Another Commits Adultery

Part B

Whosoever

Is Put Away Remarries Commits Adultery

[Includes all put away people who had been scripturally married (See Romans 7:2-3; I Cor. 7:39)]

Note: The divine decree prohibiting ALL put away people from scriptural marriage to another (while one’s obligated man / woman is still alive; Rom. 7:2-3; I Cor. 7:39), was stated AFTER Jesus spoke of post-divorce adultery being committed by the one who had wrongfully put away his bound companion (Mt. 19:9a; Lk. 16:18a). There is absolutely no scripture whatsoever, which teaches the ability of wrongfully put away people to “put away” a divinely obligated man / woman who is already “away” or to “put asunder” a marriage (Mt. 19:6; Mk. 10:9; I Cor. 7:10-11) that has already been separated!  Not even when the mate who had put them away “committeth adultery,” as this verse points out.

 


 

Mt. 5:32, “But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”

Part A

Whosoever

Puts Away (for fornication)
Not A Stumbling Block That Causes Her To
Commit Adultery

Puts Away (not for fornication)
A Stumbling Block That Causes Her To
Commit Adultery

 

Part B

Whosoever

Is Put Away Remarries Commits Adultery

[Includes all put away people who had been scripturally married (See Romans 7:2-3; I Cor. 7:39)]
