² For ^(A)the married woman is bound by law to her ^[a]husband as long as he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law ^[b]concerning the husband. ³ So then, if while her husband is alive she ^[c]gives herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she ^[d]gives herself to another man.

¹¹ (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband is not to ^[a]divorce his wife.

¹² But to the rest ^(A)I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, he must not ^[a]divorce her. ¹³ And ^[b]if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not ^[c]divorce her husband.

^39 (A)A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband ^[a]dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only ^(B)in the Lord.
