*快速总结：Very quick summary:*
本书通过第一世纪读者的视角来解释耶稣和保罗的话，他们熟悉当时耶稣被问及的 “任何原因 “的离婚（”因’任何原因’离婚是否合法”–太 19.3）。后世的基督徒忘记了 “任何原因 “的离婚议题，误解了耶稣。This book interprets the words of Jesus and Paul through the eyes of first century readers who knew about the ‘Any Cause’ divorce which Jesus was asked about (“Is it lawful to divorce for ‘Any Cause’” – Mt.19.3). Christians in following generations forgot about the ‘Any Cause’ divorce and misunderstood Jesus.
“任何原因 “的离婚是由一些法利赛人发明的，他们将 “猥亵的原因”（申 24.1）分为两种离婚理由： 猥亵”（porneia，他们解释为 “通奸”）和 “原因”（即 “任何原因”）。耶稣说，这个词组不能被拆分，它的意思是 “除了porneia，什么都不是”。尽管当时几乎所有人都在使用这种新的离婚方式，但耶稣告诉他们，这种离婚方式是无效的，所以再婚是通奸，因为他们仍然是夫妻。The ‘Any Cause’ divorce was invented by some Pharisees who divided up the phrase “a cause of indecency” (Dt.24.1) into two grounds for divorce: “indecency” (porneia which they interpreted as ‘Adultery’) and “a cause” (ie ‘Any Cause’). Jesus said the phrase could not be split up and that it meant “nothing except porneia”. Although almost everyone was using this new type of divorce, Jesus told them that it was invalid, so remarriage was adulterous because they were still married.
根据《出埃及记》21.10f，旧约允许因违背婚姻的誓言（包括弃养和虐待）而离婚。耶稣并没有被问到圣经中的这些离婚理由，尽管保罗在《哥林多前书》第 7 章中提到这些理由是婚姻义务的基础。本书认为，上帝从未废除这些基于婚姻誓言的圣经理由。基督是这些理由的典范（根据弗 5.28f），它们成为基督徒婚姻誓言的基础（爱、尊敬和相守）。 The Old Testament allowed divorce for the breaking of marriage vows, including neglect and abuse, based on Exod.21.10f. Jesus was not asked about these biblical grounds for divorce, though Paul alluded to them in 1Cor.7 as the basis of marriage obligations. This book argues that God never repealed these biblical grounds based on marriage vows. They were exemplified by Christ (according to Eph.5.28f) and they became the basis of Christian marriage vows (love, honour, and keep).
