New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
3And He answered and said to them, 'What did Moses command you?' 4They said, 'Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send his wife away.' 5But Jesus said to them, 'Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6But from the beginning of creation, God CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE. 7FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER , 8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.'King James Version
Chapter 10
3And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you 4And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
Christian Standard Bible
5But Jesus told them, "He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.
6But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
7For this reason a man will leave his father and mother
8and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
New Living Translation
5But Jesus responded, 'He wrote this commandment only as a concession to your hard hearts.
6But ‘God made them male and female’ from the beginning of creation.
7‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife,
8and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one,
9let no one split apart what God has joined together.'
