Matthew 19:9-12

Mace(i) 9 and I tell you, that whoever shall put away his wife, except it be for adultery, and shall marry another, he committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her that is put away, causeth her to commit adultery. 10 thereupon his disciples said, if the case between man and wife be such, it is best not to marry. 11 but he reply'd, 'tis not everyman can live single, but only such as have the gift of continency. 12 as there are some eunuchs, who were such from their very birth: and others who were made such by men: so there are some who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of religion. he that can bear the state of celibacy, let him bear it.
