7 They said to Him, a“Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the ahardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your bwives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 aAnd I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for1 sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to Him, a“If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
