⁷“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

⁸Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart; but it was not this way from the beginning.

⁹Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”
