Matthew 19:7-8

NLT

NIV

7 “Then why did Moses say in the law that a man could give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away?” they asked.
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended.
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
