nkjv@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"
nkjv@Matthew:19:4 @ And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning "made them male and female,'
nkjv@Matthew:19:5 @ and said, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
nkjv@Matthew:19:6 @ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
nkjv@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
nkjv@Matthew:19:8 @ He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
nkjv@Matthew:19:9 @ And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."
