<p>7:3&nbsp;<i>So then if, while the husband lives, she be joined to another man</i>- &ldquo;Be joined&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t translate the usual Greek word for marriage.&nbsp;<i>Ginomai</i>&nbsp;has a wide range of meaning; the idea may be of her sharing with, being with, another husband at the same time as she is married to her first husband. Rather than making any specific point about marriage (see on 7:4), Paul may be showing that it&rsquo;s not possible for a woman to have two husbands at the same time- &ldquo;man&rdquo; as in &ldquo;another man&rdquo; is the same Greek word translated &ldquo;husband&rdquo;. This is being said in the context of seeking to persuade us how impossible it is for us to be in covenant relationship with the two spheres or positions of law and grace, condemnation and justification at one and the same time. This is both a comfort and a challenge to us.</p><p><i>She shall be called </i><i>an adulteress; but if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man</i>- &ldquo;Shall be called&rdquo; uses a Greek term usually used about a Divine statement, i.e. she will be called&nbsp;<i>by God</i>.</p>
