Matthew 19:4-16

4But he answeringG611 saidG3004 [to them], Have ye not readG314 that he who madeG4160 [them], from the beginning madeG4160 them maleG730 and femaleG2338,

5and saidG3004, On account of this a manG444 shall leaveG2641 fatherG3962 and motherG3384, and shall beG1510 united to his wifeG1135, and the twoG1417 shall beG1510 oneG1520 fleshG4561?

6so that they areG1510 no longer twoG1417, but oneG1520 fleshG4561. What thereforeG3767 1GodG2316 has joined togetherG4801, let not manG444 separateG5563.

7They sayG3004 to him, WhyG5101 then did MosesG3475 commandG1781 to giveG1325 a letter of divorceG647 and to sendG630 [her] awayG630?

8He saysG3004 to them, MosesG3475, in view of your hardheartedness, allowedG2010 you to put awayG630 your wivesG1135; but from the beginning it was not thusG3779.

9But I sayG3004 unto you, that whosoever shall put awayG630 his wifeG1135, not for fornication, and shall marryG1060 another, commitsG3429 adulteryG3429; and he who marriesG1060 oneG3739 put awayG630 commitsG3429 adulteryG3429.

10His disciplesG3101 sayG3004 to him, If the case of the manG444 beG1510 soG3779 with his wifeG1135, it isG1510 not good to marryG1060.

11And he saidG3004 to them, All cannot receive this wordG3056, but those to whom it has been givenG1325;

12for there areG1510 eunuchsG2135 which have beenG1510 bornG1080 thusG3779 from [their] mother's wombG2836; and there areG1510 eunuchsG2135 who have beenG1510 made eunuchsG2135 of menG444; and there areG1510 eunuchsG2135 who have made eunuchsG2135 of themselves for the sakeG1223 of the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772. He that isG1510 ableG1410 to receive [it], let him receive [it].

13Then there were broughtG4374 to him little childrenG3813 that he might lay his handsG5495 on them and prayG4336; but the disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008 them.

14But JesusG2424 saidG3004, Suffer little childrenG3813, and do not hinderG2967 them from comingG2064 to me; for the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 of suchG5108:

15and having laidG2007 his handsG5495 upon them, he departedG4198 thence.

16And lo, oneG1520 comingG4334 up saidG3004 to him, TeacherG1320, what goodG18 thingG18 shall I do that I may have lifeG2222 eternalG166?
