Matthew 19:7 in Context — Matthew 19
5 Y dijo: Por tanto, el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá á su mujer, y serán dos en una carne?
6 Así que, no son ya más dos, sino una carne: por tanto, lo que Dios juntó, no [lo] aparte el hombre.
7 Dícenle: ¿Por qué, pues, Moisés mandó dar carta de divorcio, y repudiarla?
8 Díceles: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón Moisés os permitió repudiar á vuestras mujeres: mas al principio no fué así.
9 Y yo os digo que cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, si no fuere por causa de fornicación, y se casare con otra, adultera: y el que se casare con la repudiada, adultera.
