Matthew 19:5 in Context — Matthew 19
3 Les pharisiens l’abordèrent, et dirent, pour l’éprouver: Est-il permis à un homme de répudier sa femme pour un motif quelconque?
4 Il répondit: N’avez-vous pas lu que le créateur,au commencement, fit l’homme et la femme
5 et qu’il dit: C’est pourquoi l’homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s’attachera à sa femme, etles deux deviendront une seule chair?
6 Ainsi ils ne sont plus deux, mais ils sont une seule chair.Que l’homme donc ne sépare pas ce que Dieu a joint.
7 Pourquoi donc, lui dirent-ils, Moïse a-t-il prescrit de donner à la femme une lettre de divorce et de la répudier?
