This might seem like a silly question, as we find the word "divorce" in several Bible versions. However, the meaning of the Greek word "apoluo" must be determined by the context, while keeping in mind the true definition of divorce (which ends a marriage) as found in the Bible, specifically in Deuteronomy. 24:1,2; Jer. 3:8). Unbelievers who spoke Greek used apoluo as divorce. But God defines divorce as the writing of a certificate and presenting it to the woman and then sending her away. (In Old Testament times, the woman could not divorce the man.) The KJV, ASV, and others generally translate apoluo as "put away" or "send away" when referring to divorce. (It is notable that the word is more often used without relation to divorce.) Unfortunately, many have failed to consider God's definition of divorce, which allowed the woman to "go and be another man's wife," and have concluded that when Jesus spoke of the woman who was "put away" and committing adultery if she married, he was referring to divorce as God defined it and as we commonly understand it. And this changes everything. It has Jesus contradicting the Law (a sin), the divorced not free to marry, Moses teaching what God did not want, Paul's teaching needing to be perverted to conform with the false idea of what Jesus taught, and Christians being unjust, even punishing the innocent.
What seems abundantly clear, rational, scriptural, and hermeneutically sound is that Jesus said the woman would commit adultery if she married another man because she was NOT divorced, rather than divorced. It is important to note that even if the traditional view of Jesus' teaching were correct, it would not apply to men. The sin Jesus mentioned was "adultery against her" because he sent her away instead of obeying God, who commands giving her a certificate of divorce (Deut. 24:1,2; Mark 10:3). He did not sin in marrying another because he could have as many wives as he wanted and could afford.
While tradition may demand that you join them and/or toe the line and continue "forbidding to marry," (1 Tim. 4:1-3) the apostle Paul, who answered questions on this issue that Christians asked, commanded (regarding the "unmarried"), "let them marry." Regarding those "loosed," he wrote that they do not sin if they marry (1 Cor. 7:1,2; 8,9; 27, 28).
