4 And they said, Moses allowed a man to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;

8 And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
