Matthew 19:7-12

English Standard Version

⁷ They said to him, ^(A)“Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” ⁸ He said to them, “Because of your ^(B)hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. ^9 (C)And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”^[a]

¹⁰ The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” ¹¹ But he said to them, ^(D)“Not everyone can receive this saying, but only ^(E)those to ^(F)whom it is given. ¹² For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs ^(G)for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”
