Matthew 19:5-10 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

5. And God said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.’

6. So they are no longer two, but one. No human being must separate, then, what God has joined together.”

7. The Pharisees asked him, “Why, then, did Moses give the law for a man to hand his wife a divorce notice and send her away?”

8. Jesus answered, “Moses gave you permission to divorce your wives because you are so hard to teach. But it was not like that at the time of creation.

9. I tell you, then, that any man who divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, commits adultery if he marries some other woman.”

10. His disciples said to him, “If this is how it is between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
