Matthew 19:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ So they are not two people any more, but they are one person. Man must not separate what God has joined together.'

⁷ They said to Jesus, `Then why did Moses make this law? He said that a man may give his wife a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.'

⁸ Jesus said to them, `Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard. That is why he let you send your wives away. But in the beginning it was not that way.
