`Male and female did God make them.
010:007 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife, 010:008 and the two shall be one'; so that they are two no longer, but `one.' 010:009 What, therefore, God has joined together let not man separate." 010:010 Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on the same subject. 010:011 He replied, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman, commits adultery against the first wife; 010:012 and if a woman puts away her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." 010:013 One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered. 010:014 Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs. 010:015 In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it." 010:016 Then He took them in His arms and blessed them lovingly, one by one, laying His hands upon them. 010:017 As He went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, "Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?" 010:018 "Why do you call me good?" asked Jesus in reply; "there is no one truly good except One--that is, God. 010:019 You know the Commandments--`Do not murder;' `Do not commit adultery;' `Do not steal;' `Do not lie in giving evidence;' `Do not defraud;' `Honour thy father and thy mother.'" |
