6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.|

7 They said to him, |Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?|

8 Jesus said to them, |Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.

9 Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.|
