Matthew 19:9

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

And {G1161} I say {G3004} unto you {G5213},{G3754} Whosoever {G3739}{G302} shall put away {G630} his {G846} wife {G1135}, except {G1508} it be for {G1909} fornication {G4202}, and {G2532} shall marry {G1060} another {G243}, committeth adultery {G3429}: and {G2532} whoso marrieth {G1060} her which {G3588} is put away {G630} doth commit adultery {G3429}.

Now what I say to you is that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery!"

Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.
