Matthew 19:6-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

6. So the two are not two, but one. God joined the two people together. No person should separate them.”

7. The Pharisees asked, “Why then did Moses give a command for a man to divorce his wife by giving her divorce papers?”

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 anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of adultery. The only reason for a man to divorce and marry again is if his first wife has been unfaithful to him.”

10. The followers said to him, “If that is the only reason a man can divorce his wife, then it is better not to marry.”
