Matthew 19:5 CPDV

³  And the Pharisees approached him, testing him, and saying, 'Is it lawful for a man to separate from his wife, no matter what the cause?'

⁴  And he said to them in response, 'Have you not read that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?' And he said:

⁵  'For this reason, a man shall separate from father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife, and these two shall become one flesh.

⁶  And so, now they are not two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.'

⁷  They said to him, 'Then why did Moses command him to give a bill of divorce, and to separate?'
