Matthew 19:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 And the One, having responded, said, “Did you not read [in Gen 1:27] that the One having created from the beginning[a] ‘made them male and female’? 5 And He said [in Gen 2:24], ‘For this reason[b] a man will leave-behind his father and his mother and will be joined[c] to his wife. And the two will be one flesh’. 6 So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God paired-together[d], let a person[e] not separate”.
