18: πεντε γαρ ανδρας εσχες και νυν ον εχεις ουκ εστιν σου ανηρ τουτο αληθες ειρηκας— edit Textus Receptus
18: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.— edit KJV text
18: For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly.— edit Douay text


Hast had five husbands. Who have either died; or who, on account of your improper conduct, have divorced you; or whom you have left improperly, without legal divorce. Either of these might have been the case.

Is not thy husband. You are not lawfully married to him. Either she might have left a former husband without divorce, and thus her marriage with this man was unlawful, or she was living with him without the form of marriage, in open guilt.
