Romans 7:2-3 The apostle Paul taught that “...by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.”

1 Corinthians 7:10-13, 27, 39 The apostle Paul’s teaching continues: “To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband.
Let us compare. Romans says:
by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive
1 Corinthians says:
A wife must not separate from her husband.
sam says:
a woman should never divorce her husband, no matter what
Sounds like it’s saying the same thing in different words.
Let us compare. Romans says:

1 Corinthians says:
But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband.
sam says:
a divorced woman should never remarry while her husband lives
Sounds like it’s saying the same thing in different words.
Ah, you’re right, I somehow missed those Pauline quotes from Corinthians when I was looking up quotes about divorce, and I thought sam had deliberately mangled the Jesus quotes instead.
I’ll retract my earlier comment. Thanks for the correction.
It’s easy to google the quotes up. Here’s one.
