‏ 1 Corinthians 7:39

For so long time as her husband liveth ( εφ' οσον χρονον ζη ο ανηρ αυτης ). While he lives ( τω ζωντ ανδρ ) Paul says in Ro 7:2. This is the ideal and is pertinent today when husbands meet their ex-wives and wives meet their ex-husbands. There is a screw loose somewhere. Paul here treats as a sort of addendum the remarriage of widows. He will discuss it again in 1Ti 5:9-13 and then he will advise younger widows to marry. Paul leaves her free here also to be married again, "only in the Lord" ( μονον εν Κυριω ). Every marriage ought to be "in the Lord."

To be married ( γαμηθηνα ) is first aorist passive infinitive followed by the dative relative ω with unexpressed antecedent τουτω.
