Deuteronomy 6:3-9

Deu 6:3  Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you. 

Deu 6:4  Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 

Deu 6:5  Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 

Deu 6:6  These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 

Deu 6:7  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 

Deu 6:8  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 

Deu 6:9  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. 

Matthew 19:3-9

Mat 19:3  Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" 

Mat 19:4  "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 

Mat 19:5  and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? 

Mat 19:6  So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." 

Mat 19:7  "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" 

Mat 19:8  Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 

Mat 19:9  I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."
