THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

5:31It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

5:32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

19:1And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

19:2And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

19:3The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

19:4And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

19:5And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

19:6Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

19:7They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

19:8He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

19:9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
