Matthew 19:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” ⁸ He said to them, “For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. ⁹ And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity,^[a] and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries a divorced woman, commits adultery.”^[b][c]
