| 31 "It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' | 31 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' |
| 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. | 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. |
