Mark 10:4-9

English Standard Version

⁴ They said, ^(A)“Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” ⁵ And Jesus said to them, “Because of your ^(B)hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. ⁶ But ^(C)from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them ^(D)male and female.’ ^7 (E)‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,^{[a] 8} and ^(F)the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. ^9 (G)What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
