Matthew 19:3-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

⁴ Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:

⁵ For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.

⁶ Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
