Matthew 19:9λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ καὶ 
γαμήσῃ ἄλλην μοιχᾶται. 

                    LEGW DE hUMIN hOTI hOS AN APOLUSHi THN GUNAIKA AUTOU MH EPI 
PORNEIAi KAI GAMHSHi ALLHN MOIXATAI.

Perhaps it's the word order here which has caused some confusion.  Let's 
reorganize it to make it more straight-forward.

λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν μὴ ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὺτοῦ ἐπὶ 
πορνείᾳ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην μοιχᾶται.
LEGW DE hUMIN hOTI hOS AN MH APOLUSHi THN GUNAIKA AUTOU EPI PORNEIAi KAI GAMHSHi 
ALLHN MOIXATAI.

Now the sentence is relatively simple:  "Whoever does not divorce his wife 
because of adultery and marries another commits adultery."

Dear List-Members,

a friend of mine asked me to post his question on Mat 19,9 here: "LEGW DE hUMIN 
hOTI hOS AN APOLUSHi THN GUNAIKA AUTOU MH EPI PORNEIAi KAI GAMHSHi ALLHN 
MOICATAI."

He wants to know, if it's possible to understand "MH EPI PORNEIAi" as "not even 
because of fornication".

Thank you for any help !

Yours
