About the impossibility of accepting holy orders for someone whose wife is convicted of adultery. About the impossibility of performing church service until the necessary divorce in this case for a clergyman.
If the wife of a layman, having committed adultery, is clearly convicted of this, then such a person cannot enter the ministry of the clergy. If she commits adultery after his ordination, he must divorce her. If he lives with her, he cannot retain the ministry entrusted to him.
Greek original
Γυνή τινος μοιχευθεῖσα λαϊκοῦ ὄντος, ἐὰν ἐλεγχθῇ φανερῶς, ὁ τοιοῦτος εἰς ὑπηρεσίαν ἐλθεῖν οὐ δύναται. Ἐὰν δὲ καὶ μετὰ τὴν χειροτονίαν μοιχευθῇ, ὀφείλει ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν· ἐὰν δὲ συζῇ, οὐ δύναται ἔχεσθαι τῆς ἐγχειρισθείσης αὐτῷ ὑπηρεσίας.
