(46) Adultery and Divorce
Matthew 5:27-32
[27]”You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[1] [28]But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. [29]If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. For it is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body cast into hell. [30]And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body cast into hell.
[31]”It has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’[2] [32]But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
(46) Adultery and Divorce
Matthew 5:27-32, KJV
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
