Matthew 19:3-9

EJ2000(i) 3 ¶ Then the Pharisees came unto him, tempting him and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for any cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female? 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh. 6 Therefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a bill of divorce and to put her away? 8 He said unto them, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication and shall marry another, commits adultery, and whosoever marries her that is put away commits adultery.
