7. The Pharisees asked, “Then why did Moses give a command allowing a man to divorce his wife by writing a certificate of divorce?”

8. Jesus answered, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you refused to accept God’s teaching. But divorce was not allowed in the beginning.

9. I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, and marries another woman is guilty of adultery.”
