Matthew 19:7-9

7 They said to Him, ^a“Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to ^{▼▼ Or send away}divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. 9 “And I say to you, ^cwhoever ^{▼▼ Or sends away}divorces his wife, except for ^{▼▼ Lit fornication}immorality, and marries another woman ^{▼▼ Some early mss read makes her commit adultery}commits adultery ^{▼▼ Some early mss add and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery}.”
