consequently (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄρα Οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρός μοιχαλίς χρηματίσει ἐάν γένηται ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ ἐάν δέ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ ἐλευθέρα ἐστίν ἀπό τοῦ νόμου τοῦ μή εἶναι αὐτήν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ)

See how you translated this phrase in [5:18](../05/18.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς, μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει, ἐὰν γένηται ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ

living her (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄρα Οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρός μοιχαλίς χρηματίσει ἐάν γένηται ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ ἐάν δέ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ ἐλευθέρα ἐστίν ἀπό τοῦ νόμου τοῦ μή εἶναι αὐτήν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: [if she becomes married to another husband, the first husband being alive]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς

living her (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄρα Οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρός μοιχαλίς χρηματίσει ἐάν γένηται ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ ἐάν δέ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ ἐλευθέρα ἐστίν ἀπό τοῦ νόμου τοῦ μή εἶναι αὐτήν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ)

In this clause Paul is describing something that was occurring during the same time period as what he describes in the next clause. You can make this clear in your translation with an appropriate connecting word or phrase. Alternate translation: [at the same time that the husband is alive]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τοῦ ἀνδρὸς & ὁ ἀνήρ

her the ¬which (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄρα Οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρός μοιχαλίς χρηματίσει ἐάν γένηται ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ ἐάν δέ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ ἐλευθέρα ἐστίν ἀπό τοῦ νόμου τοῦ μή εἶναι αὐτήν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ)

See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄρα Οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρός μοιχαλίς χρηματίσει ἐάν γένηται ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ ἐάν δέ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ ἐλευθέρα ἐστίν ἀπό τοῦ νόμου τοῦ μή εἶναι αὐτήν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the law will title her an adulteress]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου

free (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄρα Οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρός μοιχαλίς χρηματίσει ἐάν γένηται ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ ἐάν δέ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ ἐλευθέρα ἐστίν ἀπό τοῦ νόμου τοῦ μή εἶναι αὐτήν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρί ἑτέρῳ)

Here Paul speaks of the law as if it were an object or person someone could be freed from. Paul means that the law that prohibited a woman from marrying another husband did not apply if her first husband died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase “she has been released from the law” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [she is no longer required to remain married to the first husband]
