Matthew 5:30-32
Living Bible
30 And if your hand—even your right hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. Better that than find yourself in hell.
31 “The law of Moses says, ‘If anyone wants to be rid of his wife, he can divorce her merely by giving her a letter of dismissal.’ 32 But I say that a man who divorces his wife, except for fornication, causes her to commit adultery if she marries again. And he who marries her commits adultery.
