Of course, a person might choose to forgive an adulterous but repentant mate, even as the prophet Hosea apparently forgave his immoral wife, Gomer.
Muidugi võib kristlane otsustada abielu rikkunud kaasale andeks anda, kui see oma tegusid kahetseb, justnagu prohvet Hoosea andestas ilmselt oma truudusetule naisele Gomerile.
