Matthew 19:3-6

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³ The Pharisees came to Jesus to test him. They asked, `Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him for any reason?'

⁴ Jesus answered, `Have you not read this? From the time God first made people, he made them a man and a woman.

⁵ God said, "A man must leave his father and mother and must stay with his wife. The two of them will be like one person."

⁶ So they are not two people any more, but they are one person. Man must not separate what God has joined together.'
