God's Good News for our sexuality (2 of 3)

²³ The man said,

‘This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called “woman”,
for she was taken out of man.’

²⁴ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

²⁵ Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

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?’

⁴ ‘Haven’t you read,’ he replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator “made them male and female,” 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”? ⁶ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.’
