Matthew 19:3-9

Moffatt(i) 3 Then the Pharisees came up to tempt him. They asked, "Is it right to divorce one's wife for any reason?" 4 He replied, "Have you never read that He who created them male and female from the beginning 5 said, Hence a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and the pair shall be one flesh? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has joined, then, man must not separate." 7 They said to him, "Then why did Moses lay it down that we were to divorce by giving a separation-notice?" 8 He said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, on account of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not so from the beginning. 9 I tell you, whoever divorces his wife except for unchastity and marries another woman, commits adultery; and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
