4 He answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?[b] 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
