Matthew 19 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
2 and great multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.
3 And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife for every cause?
4 Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he which did make from the beginning, made them male & female? And he said:
5 For this cause, man shall leave father & mother, & shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. That therefore which God hath joined together, let not man separate.
7 They say to him: Why then did Moyses command to give a bill of divorce, and to dismiss her?
8 He saith to them: Because Moyses for the hardness of your heart permitted you to dismiss your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say to you, that whosoever shall dismiss his wife, but for fornication, and shall marry an other, doth commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is dismissed, committeth adultery.
