Carl,

I would like to again receive B-Greek.  Also I have a question about
the perfect tense found in 1 Cor 7:15:

OU DEDOULWTAI

How does the perfect tense work in the negative (OU)?  As completed
action, the perfect stands as a result of the past.  In the case of 1 Cor
7:15
what would be the past action of OU DEDOULWTAI?  Could it mean
the marriage bond, or would the marriage bond be absolutely not under
consideration since the force of the perfect is that "you were never
under bondage" and now you "are not now under bondage"?

Would appreciate your insight into the perfect tense with OU.

All the best.
