Only the comment on Rom 7:1-3 (the married woman bound to her husband while he lives) is published; the rest of the commentary is not yet on the site.
- 7.1Theodoret explains that the law binds people only while they live, introducing Paul's example of marriage.
- 7.2Theodoret quotes Paul's example that a wife is bound to her husband only while he lives.
- 7.3Theodoret explains that a widow may lawfully remarry, and that Paul did not appeal to the Mosaic permission of divorce because Christ had said it was given for hardness of heart, contrary to the original law of creation.
