Malachi 2:14-16 "Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been
witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt
treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did
not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That
he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none
deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the LORD, the God of
Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his
garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye
deal not treacherously."
Matthew 19:3-12 "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him,
and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every
cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which
made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause
shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they
twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say
unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to
put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts
suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And
I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for
fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marries
her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the
case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But he said unto
them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For
there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there
are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which
have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able
to receive it, let him receive it."
Matthew 5:31-32 "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That
whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes
her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
committeth adultery."
Luke 16:18 "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marries another,
committeth adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her
husband committeth adultery."
Mark 10:4-12 "And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it
lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said
unto them, What did Moses command you? And they said, Moses suffered to write
a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto
them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the
beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall
a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain
shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house
his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery
against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to
another, she committeth adultery."
