Matthew 19:3-9

Noyes(i) 3 And the Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answering said, Have ye not read, that he who made them at the beginning, made them male and female? 5 And He said: "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh." 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say to him, Why then did Moses ordain that a man may give his wife a writing of divorcement, and put her away? 8 He saith to them, Moses, on account of your hardness of heart, allowed you m put away your wives; but in the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, Whoever putteth away his wife, except for fornication, and marrieth another, committeth adultery.
