6 But from the beginning of the creation, God ^a‘made them male and female.’

7 ^a‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
