"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. And a husband must not divorce his
wife." 1Cor 7:10,11 (NIV)

I noticed that "separate" and "does" (same word) are both in the passive in
the greek, but translated active.  Why?  Doesn't that affect the
interpretation?
