Matthew 5:31-33

Divorce

31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[a]
32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Oaths

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’
