3. The Pharisees also came unto him, testing him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4. And he answered and said unto them,
5. And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
6. Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
7. They said unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8. He said unto them,
9. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her who is put away does commit adultery.
