* The Pharisees also came (5656 ) unto him , tempting (5723 ) him , and saying (5723 ) unto him , Is it lawful (5748 ) for a man to put away (5658 ) his wife for every cause ? * And he answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ) unto them , Have ye not read (5627 ), that he which made (5660 ) them at the beginning made (5656 ) them male and female , * And said (5627 ), For this cause shall a man leave (5692 ) father and mother , and shall cleave (5701 ) to his wife : and they twain shall be (5704 ) one flesh ? * Wherefore they are (5748 ) no more twain , but one flesh . What therefore God hath joined together (5656 ), let not man put asunder (5720 ). * They say (5719 ) unto him , Why did Moses then command (5662 ) to give (5629 ) a writing of divorcement , and to put her away (5658 )? * He saith (5719 ) unto them , Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered (5656 ) you to put away (5658 ) your wives : but from the beginning it was (5754 ) not so . * And I say (5719 ) unto you , Whosoever shall put away (5661 ) his wife , except it be for fornication , and shall marry (5661 ) another , committeth adultery (5736 ): and whoso marrieth (5660 ) her which is put away (5772 ) doth commit adultery (5736 ).
