Matthew 19:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷ They said to him, ^(A)“Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” ⁸ He said to them, “Because of your ^(B)hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. ^9 (C)And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”^[a]
