Matthew 19:9 BBE

⁷  They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?

⁸  He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.

⁹  And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.

¹⁰  The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married.

¹¹  But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
