Mark 10:5-9
Contemporary English Version
5 Jesus replied, “Moses gave you this law because you are so heartless. 6 (A) But in the beginning God made a man and a woman. 7 (B) That's why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. 8 He becomes like one person with his wife. Then they are no longer two people, but one. 9 And no one should separate a couple that God has joined together.”

The Message
5-9 Jesus said, “Moses wrote this command only as a concession to your hardhearted ways. In the original creation, God made male and female to be together. Because of this, a man leaves father and mother, and in marriage he becomes one flesh with a woman—no longer two individuals, but forming a new unity. Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart.”

New International Version
5 “It was because your hearts were hard(A) that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’[a](B) 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] 8 and the two will become one flesh.’[c](C) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
