Mark 10:4-12
English Standard Version
4 They said, (A)“Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” 5 And Jesus said to them, “Because of your (B)hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6 But (C)from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them (D)male and female.’ 7 (E)‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,[a] 8 and (F)the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. 9 (G)What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
10 And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 And he said to them, (H)“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, 12 and (I)if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
