Matthew 19

4 "Haven’t you read," he replied, "that he who created* 19:4 Other mss read madethem in the beginning made them male and female,* 19:4 Gn 2:18; Mt 21:16,* 19:4 Gn 1:27; 5:25 and he also said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?* 19:5 Gn 2:24; Mal 2:15; 1Co 6:16; Eph 5:31,* 19:5 Gn 2:246 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate."
