Matthew 19:5-9

5and said, ‘1For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and 2the two shall become one flesh’? 6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” 7They said to Him, “3Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to 4divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. 9And I say to you, 5whoever 6divorces his wife, except for 7immorality, and marries another woman 8commits adultery9.”
