4 "Haven’t you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’19:4 Gen. 1:275 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’19:5 Gen. 2:24?6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
8 Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."
