Mark 10:2-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 Some Pharisees(A) approached Him to test(B) Him. They asked, “Is it lawful(C) for a man to divorce(D) his wife?”(E)
3 He replied to them, “What did Moses(F) command you?”
4 They said, “Moses permitted us to write divorce papers(G) and send her away.”(H)
5 But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.(I) 6 But from the beginning(J) of creation(K) God[a] made them male and female.(L)[b]
7 For this reason a man will leave(M)

8 and the two will become one flesh.(N)[d]
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”(O)
