Mitch:
Here's my take. First let's clarify the Greek by
getting the problematic clause out of it, since it is
not part of your question. I now reads:
EGW DE LEGW hUMIN hOTI PAS hO APOLUWN THN GUNAIKA
AUTOU POIEI AUTHN MOICEUQHNAI KAI hOS EAN
APOLELUMENHN GAMHSHi MOICATAI
The NET reads: But I say to you that everyone who
divorces his wife ... makes her commit adultery, and
whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
You asked: How does her husband's divorcing her cause
her to commit adultery? And I think the implication of
the final clause, KAI hOS EAN APOLELUMENHN GAMHSHi
MOICATAI, implies that when/if she remarries she then
ipso facto commits adultery, and Matthew adds, so does
the man marrying her. You'll have to wait til the
heavy weights address the intricacies of the syntax
since I work with a much larger context than others.
