Mark 10:7-8
Mark 10:5-9 The Message (MSG)
Jesus said, “Moses wrote this command only as a concession to your hardhearted ways. In the original creation, God made male and female to be together.

Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart.”
