Mark 10:5-12 Jesus said to them, "He wrote you that command on account of the hardness of your hearts.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Jesus said to them, "He wrote you that command on account of the hardness of your hearts. ⁶ But from the beginning, when God created the world, Male and female, He created them: ⁷ hence a man shall leave his father and mother, ⁸ and the pair shall be one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. ⁹ What God has joined, then, man must not separate." ¹⁰ Indoors, the disciples again asked him about this, ¹¹ and he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer to the former, ¹² and she is an adulteress if she divorces her husband and marries another man."
