Divorce and Remarriage

^18 (A)“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

^9 (A)And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”^[a]

¹¹ And he said to them, ^(A)“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, ¹² and ^(B)if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

Divorce

^31 (A)“It was also said, ^(B)‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ ^32 (C)But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and ^(D)whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

¹⁰ To the married ^(A)I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): ^(B)the wife should not separate from her husband ¹¹ (but if she does, ^(C)she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and ^(D)the husband should not divorce his wife.

¹² To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.

⁴ For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
