Matthew 19:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 He said to them, “Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not like this. 9 Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the basis of sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”[a]
10 The disciples[b] said to him, “If this is the case of a man with his[c] wife, it would be better not to marry!”
